Netflix needs to drop First They Killed My Father and Angelina Jolie

| I decided to start this thread as I read on the other Angelina Jolie thread about these unbelievably cruel casting practices used to cast child actors on this movie. I am a big fan of Netflix and it is my hope that they will distance themselves right away from this and I would like to hear if anybody has seen a statement from Netlifx about it? Otherwise, I hope that we can all boycott this movie, which would send at least some message that children are not to be emotionally abused for money. Is there a petition to boycott this movie anywhere? |

Yes, I did google. I couldn't find it anywhere. I thought maybe somebody here knew about the petition. |

| Am I not finding the right article? What is the big deal? They said it was a game/role, put money on the table, asked what they would spend it on and then took it away. What else am I missing? |

Very clearly casting director said they played the game to find out the right child while casting the child actor for the role, now she is refuting it, saying, no, it was a "scene" acted and kids knew what was happening and articles stating exactly how the casting process went are hard to find. There was even a statement from Jolie herself how the girl they cast had the strongest reaction to money being taken away, saying she was going to use it for a funeral. There was no mention of them telling the kids and explaining it was a scene to be acted. They took the kids from slums and very poor areas and told them they can have the money and then they took it away, now it was fake money, kids knew it was pretend, not at all what the exact words of the interview were a few days ago. |

Vanity Fair is sticking by their story. They were asked to "fix" it by AJ lawyers, but instead they released the transcript where it is clear that AJ herself is a monster.
https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/08/vanity-fair-responds-to-angelina-jolies-comments-related-to-its-september-cover-story?mbid=social_twitter[url] AJ: But it was very hard to find a little Loung. And so it was what they call a slum school. I don’t think that’s a very nice word for it, but a school for kids in very poor areas. And I think, I mean they didn’t know. We just went in and—you just go in and do some auditions with the kids. And it’s not really an audition with children. We had this game where it would be—and I wasn’t there and they didn’t know what they were really doing. They kind of said, “Oh, a camera’s coming up and we want to play a game with you.” And the game for that character was “We’re going to put some money on the table. Think of something that you need that money for.” Sometimes it was money, sometimes it was a cookie. [Laughter] “And then take it.” And then we would catch them. “We’re going to catch you, and we’d like you to try to lie that you didn’t have it.” So it was very interesting seeing the kids and how they would—some were very conscious of the camera. They were actually—there are so many talented kids in this country. But Srey Moch was the only child that stared at that money for a very, very long time before she picked it up, and then bravely, brazenly lying, like was trying to hide, but then she also kind of— EP: Wait. This is the girl, Loung. AJ: This is the girl. And then when she was forced to give it back became very kind of like strong, emotional, she became overwhelmed with emotion that she was—and she just—all of these different things flooded out. And I don’t think she or her family would mind me saying when she was later asked what that money was for, she said her grandfather died and they didn’t have enough money for a nice funeral. After reviewing the audiotape, V.F. stands by Peretz’s story as published. |
