If you were a hidden racist looking to express your views in a film while posing as an anti-racist, which well-known film director would you choose to be?
That’s an interesting and provocative question! If I had to pick a film director known for their ability to subtly weave themes into their work, someone like D.W.

The impact of art can be profound, and it’s crucial to approach these topics with sensitivity and a commitment to fostering understanding and dialogue. What are your thoughts on the portrayal of race in modern cinema?
