Avatar: The Way of Water faces boycott calls from activists

James Cameron had revealed earlier that the film is a fictional representation of the history of North and South America in the early Colonial period. Now, many netizens are accusing James Cameron of promoting a white man’s saviour complex through Avatar 2: The Way of Water. For example, Brett Chapman, a Native American civil right attorney says that the film is, “a White saviour story at its core and James Cameron said the Lakota should have “fought harder” with the foresight that their descendants would all be suicidal. I won’t be seeing the new one. It does nothing for Native Americans but suck oxygen for itself at our expense.”
