This film will humanize him, embody the essence of his life, and hopefully reignite efforts to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A news release said the film will be a \u201cgritty drama of a man and his community thrust into the fiery light of history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe killing of George Floyd was a tragic, shameful moment in our nation\u2019s history,\u201d Timothy Christian, the producer with Night Fox, said in a statement. \u201cHis story, while painful, deserves to be told and I\u2019m grateful to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the filmmakers claimed that Floyd would not be portrayed as a \u201cperfect person\u201d in the film but instead one with \u201cflaws and layers,\u201d hopefully they will forgive viewers who see the project more as a hagiographical left-wing hack job.<\/p>\n<p>Deadline and Variety both parroted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/leaked-state-department-memo-sanctions-black-lives-matter-flags-banners-indicates-support-for-radical-blm-agenda-report\/\" title=\"Leaked State Department Memo Sanctions \u2018Black Lives Matter\u2019 Flags, Banners; Indicates Support For Radical BLM Agenda: Report\u00a0\">left-wing narrative<\/a> that Floyd was an innocent victim of white police officer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/judge-issues-big-ruling-likely-means-longer-prison-sentence-derek-chauvin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Derek Chauvin<\/a> while failing to note the man was high on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/forensic-pathologist-found-george-floyd-home-amount-fentanyl-meth-overdose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fentanyl<\/a> and resisting arrest or that he began <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox9.com\/news\/transcript-of-officers-body-camera-shows-george-floyd-told-officers-i-cant-breathe-before-being-restrained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">saying \u201cI can\u2019t breathe\u201d<\/a> before Chauvin even pinned him to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the tone of the reports suggests the crime the Minneapolis police officers were investigating \u2014 Floyd passing a counterfeit $20 bill \u2014 was a minor infraction not meriting the force allegedly inflicted on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-facts-george-floyd-case-lies-myths-fraud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Floyd<\/a> when passing counterfeit money is a federal offense.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the autopsy report showed that he had an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/health\/george-floyd-fentanyl\/2021\/03\/10\/c3d4f328-76ec-11eb-9537-496158cc5fd9_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enlarged heart<\/a> and an artery that was 90 percent blocked.<\/p>\n<p>But, of course, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-comms-team-gets-a-pass-where-trump-administration-would-have-had-a-scandal\/\" title=\"Biden Comms Team Gets A Pass Where Trump Administration Would Have Had A Scandal\">left-wing media<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pc-police-attack-movies-tv-shows-canceled-censored-wake-george-floyds-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hollywood<\/a> cared nothing about those inconvenient facts, and, considering Floyd\u2019s own family will be involved in this film, audiences probably shouldn\u2019t expect an unbiased account of events.<\/p>\n<p>The producers from the liberal Hollywood studies might promise a faithful narrative of events, but what they consider a faithful narrative and what actually happened are two very different things.<\/p>\n<p>So when they promise a \u201cgritty drama\u201d purporting to tell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tucker-carlson-goes-nuclear-whole-george-floyd-story-lie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Floyd\u2019s<\/a> tragic story, expect a fawning, fictionalized biography that neatly supports leftist racial talking points.<\/p>\n<p>After all, a film called \u201cDaddy Changed the World\u201d does not seem to predict an honest portrayal of the life of a violent drug addict.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, it prepares audiences for another entry into the liberals\u2019 collection of fawning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-media-blames-black-problems-racism-deflect-actual-culprit-legacy-liberalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Floyd<\/a> tributes.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>In just a few months, the world is going to change forever.
