# Boycott Called for Christopher Nolan Film Over Western Sahara Filming Location
Sahrawi filmmakers have called for a boycott of Christopher Nolan's film "The Odyssey" over its production in occupied Western Sahara. The criticism centers on what the filmmakers characterize as complicity in Moroccan exploitation of Sahrawi land. English actor Tom Holland stars in the production.
The boycott call highlights contentious questions regarding film production in territories with disputed sovereignty. Western Sahara's status remains contested internationally, with Morocco administering the territory while the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and various international bodies dispute Morocco's control.
The incident reflects broader debates within the entertainment industry about the political and ethical implications of where major productions choose to film, particularly in regions affected by territorial disputes or occupation claims.
