The controversial new movie Citizen Vigilante has sparked a firestorm of debate. Reportedly banned in several countries for inciting violence, the film has found a massive booster in Elon Musk, who is already discussing a potential sequel. But is this movie a legitimate expression of social anxiety regarding the migrant situation in Europe, or is it simply "racist slop" designed to bait the headlines?
