Christopher Nolan Accused Of Fueling "Repression" With 'The Odyssey' “Dakhla is not just a beautiful location with cinematic sand dunes. Primarily, it is an occupied, militarised city whose indigenous Sahrawi population is subject to brutal repression by occupying Moroccan forces,” the festival said. “By filming part of The Odyssey in an occupied territory billed as a ‘news black hole’ by Reporters Without Borders, Nolan and his team, perhaps unknowingly and unwillingly, are contributing to the repression of the Sahrawi people by Morocco.”
yeah it seems like the colonialist government is making a tourism push and offering incentives like they do in Dubai etc but he should have done due diligence
