A crowd-funded short film, 'Johanne Sacreblu,' is set to screen in Mexican cinemas following backlash against the Oscar-nominated 'Emilia Perez.' Critics have slammed 'Emilia Perez' for its poor Spanish, reliance on stereotypes, and insufficient representation of the realities of forced disappearances in Mexico. In response, trans filmmaker Camila Aurora created 'Johanne Sacreblu,' a 28-minute musical that humorously tackles systemic racism in France. Premiering on YouTube, it quickly amassed 2 million views, and is now set to be shown by Cinedot. This contrasts starkly with the empty theaters for 'Emilia Perez.'

Camila Aurora's ‘Johanne Sacreblu’ has found tremendous support and has emerged as a fresh voice in response to criticism of ‘Emilia Perez.’
The backlash against ‘Emilia Perez’ highlights not just cultural sensitivities, but also a rising demand for authentic representation in cinema.
With over 2 million views in a week, ‘Johanne Sacreblu’ is not just a film; it’s a cultural statement resonating with audiences.
