Just 6,4% of Hollywood movies were directed by women in 2013 and 2014, according to a damning new survey, which is likely to heap further pressure on the world’s largest film industry to improve diversity.

The survey by the Directors Guild of America (DGA) also found that just 1,3% of movies were directed by ethnic minority females, who make up close to 20% of the general US population.

Just 11.2% of films were directed by men from ethnic minorities, while a staggering 82,4% were overseen by white men. Of films that one might call blockbusters a barely-believable 96,8% were directed by men.

“We hope this report will put a magnifying glass on a system that makes it disproportionately challenging for talented women and minority film directors to get hired.” said DGA diversity task force co-chair Bethany Rooney.
