Andrew Niccol (Gattaca; Lord of War; In Time) will write and direct the project, titled They Are Us, which focuses on the week following the 2019 Christchurch attacks on New Zealand’s Muslim community.

And yet where is the movie about the victims of the California attack by ISIS. They befriended their victims. You would think that would be more of a box office magnet--more audiences in the West would connect with that.
No no, do the minority audience film project.

It appears to have stirred up controversy, even some criticism from Arden herself.
