One Atlanta casting director is standing up against The War Room and their alleged racial and slave labor production practices.
The Christian movie ‘War Room’ allegedly did not allow Jews, Muslims or anyone that was not Christian to appear in the movie. In addition, casting directors and producers made actors work for free.
According to casting director Jackie Burch, the casting director behind several major feature films including Divergent and The Hunger Games, took to Facebook to call out the Christian Box-Office hit movie , ‘War Room’.
Burch points out that The War Room “would not allow anyone to work on the movie that was not Christian.” In fact, they said that no Jews were allowed to be a part of this production and she is calling for everyone to boycott the movie.
In addition, they also wanted people to work for free. “So you tell me how religion is an example of goodness? Sound to me like racism and taking advantage of people by using religion not to pay people.”

The War Room is a 2015 Christian drama movie directed by Alex Kendrick and produced by Stephen Kendrick. When asked about the title of the movie, director Kendrick says “‘War Room’ because, like the military, we should seek God for the right strategy before going into combat. By combat, I mean daily issues we face in our culture.”
