Will Smith is moving production of his latest film “Emancipation” out of Georgia in protest of “newly enacted voting restrictions,” referring to the state’s election integrity law that Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed in late March. “At this moment in time, the Nation is coming to terms with its history and is attempting to eliminate vestiges of institutional racism to achieve true racial justice,” the Hollywood star and film director Antoine Fuqua said Monday in a joint statement through Smith’s production studio Westbrook. “We cannot in good conscience provide economic support to a government that enacts regressive voting laws that are designed to restrict voter access,” the pair added.
