Thousands of screenwriters in Hollywood are set to go on strike today. It's likely to have a catastrophic impact on the US entertainment industry and comes after negotiations concluded without an agreement. Late-night comedy shows will be impacted immediately, and TV shows and movies could face major delays. Writers are demanding higher pay, minimum guarantees of stable employment, and a greater share of the profits from the streaming boom. Studios, including Disney and Netflix meanwhile, say they need to cut costs due to economic pressures. Watch some reactions to the strike from attendees of the Met Gala. FRANCE 24's correspondent in Los Angeles Wassim Cornet reports.
