"Made me want to vomit." Same. Shark Dog Films has debuted an official US trailer for the documentary called The Boys in Red Hats, which initially premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival earlier this year. This isn't as bad as that title sounds, thank goodness, but it definitely is an attempt to soften the blow and shift the blame instead of actually confront any real problems. It film follows an "incident" in 2019 in which a student was caught on camera acting racist, then "instantly and unwittingly became a global headline." It's fair to show all sides of what happened and then examine the outrage and the ensuing media hoopla, which often does get out of hand, but at the same time this almost feels like an attempt to give this kid a chance to escape the blame. He should've never been there to begin with if he didn't want any of this attention. At least this doc admits it "will piss off both sides" though that thinking definitely won't achieve much anyway. ›››
