[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lili Fini Zanuck ? Image copyright Getty Images Image caption  Lili Fini  Zanuck has directed a new documentary about rock legend Eric Clapton
 Lili Fini  Zanuck  who was only the second woman to ever win a best picture Oscar when  she  took the award for Driving Miss Daisy in 1990  also produced Cocoon and directed 1991's Rush.
"No  we haven't turned a corner "  she  says when asked whether the tumultuous events of 2017 meant the climate was changing for women in the entertainment industry.

 Zanuck  also warns of "tokenism" rather than real change following the allegations of sexual assault and harassment made against prominent Hollywood figures in 2017  including producer Harvey Weinstein.
For part of her career   Lili Fini  Zanuck made films with  her  husband Richard D Zanuck  a producer on the original Jaws movie  who died in 2012. While he co-produced Driving Miss Daisy   she  was the force behind it.
The story of an elderly woman and  her  African American chauffeur  played by Morgan Freeman  started as an independent film and went on to win four Oscars  including for Miss Daisy  herself   Jessica Tandy. It was nominated for another five.
 Zanuck  says she didn't necessarily think she'd come back to directing  but her decades-long friendship with Clapton ( he  did the score for her movie Rush) meant that  he  approached her to make Life in 12 Bars.
" He  was asked to do the film and  he  said  he  would only participate if I directed it " she says. She wasn't surprised  she adds  that the 18-time Grammy winner hadn't been willing to put  his  name to a film about  his  career before now.
 Zanuck  says the "luxury" of directing only came after Driving Miss Daisy  adding that she used the Oscar "to grab my chance  but one doesn't necessarily lead into the other".
Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars is released in the UK on 12 January. A Q&A with Clapton and  Zanuck  will be broadcast live to cinemas around the UK with a preview screening of the film on 10 January.

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ed Gillespie ? A television ad depicting minority children running from a pickup truck sporting a bumper sticker for Virginia Republican Ed Gillespie  is designed to criticize the gubernatorial candidate’s ties to President Trump — and to address concerns that Democratic candidate Ralph Northam is struggling to connect with minority voters  according to people familiar with the strategy.
 The ad  was removed late Tuesday after a terrorism attack in New York City involved a pickup truck running down people on a bike path.
But before  it  was removed   it  was designed to appeal to Latino voters. Public polling shows Northam easily beating Gillespie among black and Latino voters  but a recent private poll shared widely among minority advocacy groups sparked worry about the Democrat’s appeal. Northam’s campaign urged the groups not to release the poll’s findings  according to multiple people familiar with the matter — a point not disputed by his campaign.
In the weeks since the poll was conducted  progressive groups have worked to tie  Gillespie  to Trump  whose approval rating among Latinos nationwide hovers in the teens. They worry that if  Gillespie  wins   his  campaign ads — which raised concerns about illegal immigration and “sanctuary cities” and voiced support for Confederate-era monuments — could be replicated nationwide next year by GOP candidates eager to turn out conservative voters.

Alex’s group produced the new ad  “American Nightmare ” which features four young children — two Latino boys  an African American child and a Muslim girl wearing a headscarf — running from a white man driving a pickup truck adorned with the  Gillespie  sticker and a Confederate flag. The truck chases the children through a suburban neighborhood into a dead-end alley — at which point the children awake from a bad dream.

A Washington Post-Schar School poll released Tuesday did not poll enough Latino voters to generate a measurable sample. But among nonwhite voters overall  Northam leads  Gillespie  73 percent to 17 percent — similar to Clinton’s margins in Virginia last year. Other statewide polls conducted last month by the Wason Center and Fox News showed Northam trouncing  Gillespie  among nonwhite voters.
