Spike Lee calls for Hollywood to ‘shut it down’ in Georgia

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Director Spike Lee is calling for Hollywood production companies to leave Georgia over a law that would ban abortions as early as six weeks, upon detection of a fetal heartbeat.

Most studios that have commented have said they’re waiting to see if the so-called “heartbeat” law actually takes effect next year, or if the courts will block it. But at the arrivals line for Denzel Washington’s American Film Institute lifetime achievement tribute Thursday, Lee said now is the time for Georgia-based productions to “shut it down” and boycott the state’s booming film industry to drive change.

Lee acknowledged that a mass exodus could dent livelihoods, but cited black bus drivers affected by the Civil Rights Movement-era boycott in Montgomery. “I know it’s going to affect people’s livelihood. But that’s how things change,” Lee said. “You’ve got to be on the right side of history, and the state of Georgia and those other states, they’re wrong,” he added.

If he doesn't believe in and respect state rights and the will of the people then he should run on back to crime infested, drug infested, dung infested L.A. where it
will also cost 3 times as much to produce a film.

Well he didn't say the federal government should overturn the law. You can respect states' rights and still boycott a state until it changes its laws.

Don't be an ass. Large cities all over the country have film or movie depts in their city governments. Atlanta has a huge music and movie production apparatus there. It will hurt them more if production co's go elsewhere. That's the whole point

PS Don't forget Canada has a MAJOR film production community. (Don't know if is Toronto or Montreal).

That's too logical.

Always amazes me the BLARING hypocrisy of GOP'RS--the CAPITALISM party. Freedom of MARKETS. Can't think of anything more capitalistic and free market, then telling some entity, I don't like you or your product or the 'community' you are conducting business in. I won't spend a dime there.

Then let him sacrifice, man up, put politics aside from business ventures, think of "the people" and in his words..........."do the right thing".

Conservatives are all about the free market..... except for when Facebook and Youtube ban right-wing conspiracy nuts. And Conservatives hate when people get government hand-outs..... except when it's for the rich. At least they believe in religious liberty..... as long as Muslims don't want to build a Mosque near Ground Zero.
