That’s When You Give Hollywood the 🖕🏼 Finger
A speaker discusses their discovery of a movie called 'The Artist' and reveals that they were prevented by their Hollywood publicist from speaking publicly about child exploitation issues they learned about through the Innocent Justice Foundation, suggesting Hollywood's complicity in suppressing awareness of these crimes.
Summary
The speaker describes learning about what they characterize as a serious crime problem in the United States: child exploitation, which they claim the U.S. is the number one producer and consumer of globally, with victims averaging under five years old. The speaker mentions their involvement with the Innocent Justice Foundation, an organization that trained SWAT teams and police officers on investigative techniques for locating perpetrators, with the statistic that in one of five cases, law enforcement would find a child actually on site. Upon discovering a film called 'The Artist' that received significant Academy Award recognition (10 nominations, 5 wins including Best Picture), the speaker felt compelled to publicly discuss the child exploitation issue. However, their publicist at the time explicitly forbade them from speaking about this topic in Hollywood, which the speaker interprets as evidence of Hollywood's involvement or complicity in suppressing information about child exploitation. While the speaker acknowledges that not all of Hollywood is inherently bad, they assert that the industry is fundamentally complicit in enabling this silence around the issue.
