Barack and Michelle Obama blasted over movie they produced in which character warns against trusting 'white people'
|
[BLAZE] The scene is from Netflix's apocalyptic film "Leave the World Behind," which the Obamas co-produced through their Higher Ground company — an outfit that focuses on projects about race, class, democracy, and civil rights, Newsweek said.
The movie shows a mixed-race daughter telling her black father, "I'm asking you to remember that if the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people — even mom would agree with me on that."
The deal is that a cyberattack has driven the world into chaos. A white family is renting a home on Long Island — and the father and daughter from the above scene show up to the house after a power outage in New York City, tell the white family they're the owners of the home they're renting, and ask if they can work out a deal to take refuge in the house as well.
The social commentary aspect is that Julia Roberts — who plays the wife and mother of the renters — comes across as racist for seeming surprised that black people could own such a stunning home.
It's not as though the Obamas weren't aware of the racism element or the scene in which the daughter tells her father that white people shouldn't be trusted too easily. In fact, Barack Obama gave notes to director Sam Esmail on his adapted screenplay, according to Vanity Fair.
