Pawn Shop crew members quit upon realizing what they're shooting
One remaining Pawn Shop worker says they never would have taken the job if The Daily Wire had told them what they were making.
Pawn Shop crew members have resigned after discovering they were filming a pro-ICE propaganda piece, according to a new report in IndieWire. Sources indicate that around a dozen individuals have left the production, which is described as "beleaguered" and associated with The Daily Wire. An anonymous crew member, who signed an NDA, revealed that the job was initially presented as a "fun action movie" in Livingston, Montana.
However, it was only upon beginning the job that the true nature of the project was disclosed. The crew member expressed regret for accepting the role, stating that they would not have done so if they had known the purpose. The report highlights that many of the workers are not from Montana and had to cover their own travel expenses to return home, creating a challenging situation for those remaining.
Additionally, the anonymous crew member reported that attempts to address safety concerns, such as dealing with angry protestors, were met with indifference.
