Will Smith’s Emancipation is the first to follow through, and it should be interesting to see if other projects follow suit.
This isn’t the first time that Hollywood figures have threatened to pull projects out of the state of Georgia, specifically in hopes of making political impact.

Some began advocating for this way of protest after the state passed laws making it more difficult for women to access abortion services.
