Viola Davis: no roles for black women

Emmy Award-winning actress Viola Davis says "the only thing that separates women of colour from anyone else is opportunity." On Sunday she became the first black woman to win in the Lead Actress in a Drama category, for her role in How to Get Away With Murder. American-British writer Bonnie Greer tells us the real power lies with the writers, not the actors.
