Oh the lies and contradictions:
The new law, which includes a restriction on drop boxes, makes it a crime to provide food or water to voters lined up outside polling stations, requires mandatory proof of identity for absentee voting and creates greater legislative control over how elections are run. Opponents say these provisions will disproportionately disenfranchise people of color

And do they have their ID as they board flights to go elsewhere? Or to make a visit to a bank, or use a credit card, to check into a hotel or rent a car? But too much to ask for to vote?!

Maybe they should film it in tibet or xinjiang. It’s amazing that they call “racism” but are happy to do business with chinese communists that are right now exterminating races of people.

I’d like to see a historical slave drama based in Fairbanks Alaska

You know, just to mix it up a little bit.

The point is Will, I was not going to watch a second of it anyway so go film it wherever you want. Allow me to suggest Somalia.

He should film it in West Philly.

Poor negro is only worth 350 million.
The US is so racist...

Got that right.

Bugger off, the both of you!

Anyone know of a way to quickly ID whether a film was done in China? Yeah, yeah, if Disney, almost 100%. But, how about others? Is there a company name to flag?
E.g., if company XXX is listed, don’t bother watching as you only enrich the CCP.
