I'm not asking if people are going to see this movie, whether it looks bad or good.
We had to read this in English, it's about a movie that was originally made in Canada, and made it big once it was shown at the Sundance Film Festival. But it was edited because a test audience couldn't understand why the dance team was going across the border to Detroit. They already assumed it took place in the States.
My English teacher asked us this question for an essay topic:
Is there enough significant differences between the US and Canada to justify changing the film and it's setting so that Americans can understand it? Is it unjust that they do not do the same for Canadians?
