As a passionate movie enthusiast and someone who deeply cares about promoting inclusivity and understanding through cinema, I am deeply troubled by the forthcoming release of "A Super Progressive Movie." Created by the Australian political party One Nation led by Pauline Hanson, this satirical animated film is set to release on Australia Day, a day already marked by a complex and emotionally charged history for many Australians. The film mocks what its creators perceive as "woke" politics and culture, portraying ideologies and communities in a manner that is gravely offensive.

This movie's release on Australia Day, also known as Invasion Day, not only disrespects but also antagonizes the identity and historical experiences of Indigenous Australians and various marginalized communities. The film employs humor that is neither clever nor constructive, instead opting for crude and simplistic attacks that do not foster dialogue, empathy, or understanding, but rather perpetuate division and hate.

Having a film that spins disinformation and encourages hostility towards progressive ideals is deeply concerning in our current socio-political climate. In a time when the world should strive for understanding and acceptance, such narratives serve to inflame tensions and fuel animosity. As someone who believes in the unifying power of storytelling, I cannot sit by as hate is disseminated under the guise of comedy.

Cinema should reflect the diversity of human experience, foster open-mindedness, and inspire change. A film that derides these values betrays what I and many others hold dear about the art form. We must not allow our screens to be hijacked by stories that pander to prejudice and undermine efforts to build a more inclusive society.

I urge you to join me in boycotting "A Super Progressive Movie". Let us send a clear message that hate and division have no place in our cinemas. Stand in solidarity with those who believe in the power of film to connect rather than divide. Please, sign this petition to show your support for a more inclusive and respectful cinematic culture.
