TL;DR: The iconic desert landscapes from the movie belong to Western Sahara which is under Moroccan occupation. The indigenous population, Sahrawis, are marginalised by the Moroccan regime, who arrest natives for filming their own land while giving complete permission and assistance to Western film producers to shoot their scenes.
I highly recommend reading the article as it’s written by one of the locals themselves.
Why YSK: Seeing how The Odyssey has amassed popularity globally, it is important to know how the illegal occupation of the Western Sahara and the suffering of the inhabitants was swept under the rug in order to produce this film, especially since no other major media outlet wishes to cover this topic.
You can be wrong without betting stupid, you know? Like, how can you blame the Odyssey for the Moroccan occupation of western Sahara, what does it have to do with Gaza, and what on earth do you think activism is?
You only talk about this topic because its on your streaming service lol
You only act with outrage because it gives you your dopamine hit for the day.
reverse uno? youre regurgitating my point.
That’s rich coming from “The Odyssey caused the Moroccan occupation because Arcane2077 uses a streaming service” guy. Take your meds
