https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/calls-boycott-odyssey-over-filming-occupied-western-sahara>Much of the attention on The Odyssey has focused on a campaign by far-right online trolls to stir up controversy over the casting of Lupita Nyong'o in the lead role of Helen of Troy.>Nolan has dismissed that controversy as "irrelevant", but Sahrawis say the real scandal is over Nolan's whitewashing of Morocco's exploitation of their homeland.>They also point out that the same security services involved in brutalising Sahrawi campaigners in the occupied territory facilitated the shoot
>>221865403Why did Nolan even film there
>>221865446Probably for some random desert shot, there were a lot of scenes and different sets in the movie
>>221865403Nolan, I hear you're a Fascist now.

>>221865403Reddit is not taking it well
>>221865664
>>221865633That happens almost everywhere.Most countries would love to get a Nolan movie or any Hollywood blockbuster made there.
>>221865951Yeah but he could have picked anywhere else
>>221866006Why? Because the goat fucking camel riders are sad?
>>2218654031 billion incoming
>>221866134Because Morroco is occupying and abusing the people there and the United States is attempting to have the people in other countries be removed. It's not their land, and Nolan is complicit
