The fact that this movie seems to be getting so much praise from right-wing conspiracy theorists and Christian nationalists should give any thinking person pause.
Yeah...
But it doesn't mean that they are completely wrong either.
Long before the Covid outbreak there was a LOT of chatter about this drug. Of course it's illegal in America...of course it's something only the wealthy people can have....of course it's available outside of America.
The child sex slaves?
Knew about them a LONG time ago....especially those infected with HIV that nobody wants acknowledge, treat, or help. (There's some orphanages that I unfortunately know way too much about)
Where Mel Gibson is not exactly Saint or lives a lifestyle that anyone should completely copy...the man makes an effort. He isn't perfect by a long shot...but Mel is trying after finding out how empty a hedonistic lifestyle is. However he is constantly paying for his earlier choices in life.
Mel Gibson movies of course embellish the truth with dramatic flair. That's just "poetic license " at work....the movie is intended to inform and be watchable and entertaining without being too preachey.
I'd dare say that the core elements of the movie are true...
