Lena Dunham er havnet i en shitstorm for at skrive manuskript til en film om syriske bådflygtninge.
Steven Spielberg og J. J. Abrams har hyret “Girls”-forfatter Lena Dunham til at skrive et filmmanuskript baseret på den dokumentariske “A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea: One Refugee’s Incredible Story of Love, Loss, and Survival”, der er skrevet af FN-talspersonen Melissa Fleming, skriver Variety.
Beretningen dokumenterer den virkelige historie om Doaa Al Zamel, en mor til to på flugt fra Egypten til Sverige med båd, der kæntrede på rejsen.
Og det er for galt. Det mener en række toneangivende kritikere fra flere amerikanske medier og uddannelses-institutioner.
For Lena Dunham er ikke selv syrisk bådflygtning. Derfor bør hun ikke skrive en film om dem, mener kritikerne.
Senest har den danske filmfestival Mix Copenhagen valgt at boykotte transfilm uden transpersoner – læs om det her.
Hi hello, please leave Syrian stories alone if you aren't Syrian and especially if you are Lena Dunham. Thank you. https://t.co/FZInaC7qmD

Anyone else take issue with a person who has shown very little regard for the importance of representation in her work writing a Syrian refugee's story?
I do. Come on, Hollywood. https://t.co/ycTB0PlKfN

Surely there are storytellers who have actually been refugees, or at least had some experience with what it means to be marginalized, who could write this screenplay adaptation with authenticity &, um, not white privilege. Hard to think of a worse choice for this than Dunham. https://t.co/NHRyt4k86G

Nok nærmerer tonedøve
Af være en syrisk bådflygtning, gør ikke en til en god manuskrift forfatter

"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbours - even by children. I condemns all that Nazis did and stood for, but because history is edited, most people today don't realize, that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbours hate them simply because they were Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views - left or right?"

Haha. Korrekt, de er ikke mere flygtninge, end de kan rejse hjem på ferie

En film om sådan en rejse, er ikke engang noget jeg gad at se, om den så var gratis.

Har nogen af de instruktører, manuskriptforfattere, skuespillere, der lavede filmen om Utøya selv været til stede, da Breivik gik amok?
Har nogen af dem, der laver film om 2. Verdenskrig selv oplevet det.
Hvis man skal have oplevet nogen af de ting, der fortælles om, så vil der ganske enkelt blive færre film, der behandler de emner. Hvor mange syriske flygtninge er kvalificeret til at skrive film-umanuskriptet?
