The Muslim community says it wasn't properly consulted about the making of a new movie about the mosque attacks. Photo: NZ HeraldA petition to shut down a film about the Christchurch mosque attacks has collected more than 9600 signatures overnight. It calls on the funders, producers and the New Zealand film industry to boycott the film and urges Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to publicly denounce it. It says the Muslim community has not been properly consulted and many members knew nothing about it until it was announced. Ardern's office released a statement yesterday saying that neither she nor the government have any involvement in the film.
