The Damaged Coda: Representation Matters on Netflix

Netflix has made significant strides in showcasing representation and diversity in their original content, but unfortunately, some great films don't make it to the platform. One such film that left us disappointed is the comedy-drama 'Coda'. Written and directed by Sian Heder, this remake of the French film La Famille Bélier tells the story of Ruby, a hearing teenage girl raised by deaf parents, struggling with the decision to attend a prestigious music school or stay with her family's fishing business.

With an talented cast including Emilia Jones, Marlee Matlin, Daniel Durant, and Troy Kotsur, this coming-of-age movie is a powerful exploration of identity, community, and the importance of representation. Unfortunately, it seems that Coda has been left off Netflix's list of available titles, leaving fans like us wanting more.

However, there is hope! If you're looking for great movies on Netflix that showcase representation, there are plenty to choose from. Films like 'To All the Boys: Always and Forever', 'On My Block', 'Atypical', and 'Family Reunion' all do an excellent job of showcasing diverse stories and experiences.

So, while Coda may not be available on Netflix at this time, we remain hopeful that it will make its way to the platform soon. In the meantime, there are plenty of other great movies and TV shows to enjoy, and we're grateful for the representation and diversity that Netflix continues to bring to the table.
