## Resource

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson makes a powerful statement. At the live-action 'Moana' premiere, Johnson revealed he never saw himself on screen as a child. He admired Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones but admitted, 'that guy didn't look like me.' Now, Johnson says the film is a deeply personal mission. Creatives are working closely to honor Polynesian culture, ensuring authentic representation for a new generation.
