The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, including a prominent role for a Black actor, though this does not involve explicit race-swapping of traditionally white characters. The narrative maintains a traditional, uplifting tone, focusing on themes of perseverance and community without critiquing or explicitly centering traditional identities or DEI themes.
