@TonyStark A giant "1865"-sculpture should be cast from the statue's metal.
And every Confederacy- & slavery-glorifying monument should equally be removed & turned into such a sculpture, too, if made of metal.

I'm sorry this film exists & that this theater supports it, though I'm not necessarily saying one should ban a movie. I will say that The Carolina Theater promoting this without education/context is like celebrating #Confederatemonuments ("history" or "heritage" minus the necessary education on their context& legacy of #slavery, murder, jim crow, #policebrutality).

#ARTNews "New Bill in Florida Would Allow Civilians to Sue When Confederate Monuments Are Damaged or Removed" by Karen K. Ho
https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/proposed-legislation-florida-sb1096-civilians-lawsuits-damage-removal-confederate-monuments-1234665451/On the fight against Confederate monuments and the GOP counteroffensives I recommend "Smashing Statues" by Erin L. Thompson (2022) and "No Common Ground" by Karen L. Cox (2021).
