At the screening, Pike commented on the lack of diverse roles in Hollywood for both women and people of color.

“It’s not easy being a woman in this business,” Pike, who stars alongside David Oyelowo in A United Kingdom, told the BBC. “It’s also hard from an actor’s point of view to be a person of color. It’s fine to be the second lead, but it’s not always so easy to be the lead.”

Pike also commented on the “huge” milestone it was for A United Kingdom‘s director Amma Asante to have her film opening the BFI London Film Festival – becoming the first black woman to achieve such an accomplishment. Pike said that she “deserves every success she gets.”
