Hollywood actor James Woods is joining the chorus of Americans outraged about this month’s wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui.
“Someday after all the land is appropriated, Hollywood will make a movie about this,” Woods said Sunday, as he shared a video featuring survivor accounts in the wake of the blazing catastrophe.
“Rich people in tuxedoes will celebrate their compassion and give each other little gold statues. And then everything will be forgotten,” Woods predicted.
The original compilation video Woods shared was posted by Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis, who captioned the clips as “Eyewitness Accounts of Police Blocking the Escape Road out of Town.”
She wondered aloud: “Why did the police turn off the sirens and block the escape road?”
