Shockwave: Daily Wire's ICE Propaganda Film Faces Montana Shutdown

The Daily Wire, the ultra-conservative media company founded by Ben Shapiro, which has increasingly ventured into movie production, is once again embroiled in controversy. Known for its right-wing agenda, the company recently experienced significant setbacks with its film, "Run Hide Fight: Infidels." This particular project, described as an "ineptly racist right-wing action fever dream," not only failed to resonate with critics but also suffered financial underperformance. Compounding these issues, reports emerged detailing unsafe production practices during filming, which allegedly led to incidents involving its lead actors, JC Kilcoyne and the disgraced former star Jonathan Majors, reportedly crashing through an unsafe prop window.

Following the critical and financial misstep of "Run Hide Fight: Infidels," The Daily Wire's continued foray into controversial filmmaking is now facing renewed public scrutiny. The company's latest production, which is characterized by its "far-right revisionism," is encountering substantial backlash. This opposition is specifically coming from citizens in its Montana shooting location, who are vocalizing their disapproval of the themes and content associated with the project. The recurring nature of these controversies highlights a pattern for the media organization, as its attempts to establish itself in the entertainment industry continue to be overshadowed by criticism related to its ideological stance and production ethics.
