The trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming film, 'Ali G: Who Iz I?', has ignited controversy, prompting calls for a theater boycott. Critics have slammed the trailer for its alleged use of racist stereotypes, leading to a significant backlash.
An email campaign, reportedly originating from the watchdog site NewsCord, has already sent over 40,000 messages to theaters urging them to refrain from screening the film. This reaction suggests a strong public disapproval of the content presented in the trailer, raising concerns about the film's potential impact and its portrayal of sensitive issues.
