British-Indian filmmaker Asif Kapadia blasted Donald Trump’s proposed temporary ban on Muslim travel to America during a film forum Friday at the Cannes Film Festival.
“Boycott Donald Trump,” Kapadia, who was raised Muslim, said Friday of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee at the 7th annual Winston Baker Film Finance Forum.
“If he was president, I wouldn’t be allowed into the U.S.,” he added, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker behind the 2010 documentary Senna is in Cannes this week to promote his latest documentary, Amy, about the late soul singer Amy Winehouse.
The London-born Kapadia also said the newly elected Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, would similarly be prohibited from entering the United States if Trump’s proposed ban was put in place.
“[There is] an interesting Trump movie to be made. But right now it is a tragedy,” the documentary filmmaker said during the panel. “And I don’t think he needs any more attention.”
In 2011, Kapadia told the Guardian that his Muslim upbringing informs much of his filmmaking process.

Cannes: Oscar-Winning Muslim Filmmaker Calls for Trump ‘Boycott:’ He Doesn’t ‘Need Any More Attention’
RAISED Muslim??? If this is how he describes himself, and he is not currently observing that faith, he'd better have some real loyal bodyguards.
What a crybaby.
I had an Asif Kapadia once. They took it out during a colonoscopy.
“...promote his latest documentary, Amy, about the late soul singer Amy Winehouse. “
A documentary about a dead junkie? Passed up dead junkie Prince for a third rate dead junkie?
The total takeover has been complete, now UK is officially a Muslim country
“Kapadia told the Guardian that his Muslim upbringing informs much of his filmmaking process.”
Yeah, it’s all out in the open for all of us to see. And as for keeping him out of our country, I’d be all for that!
As if anybody gives a sh**.
Asif anyone shave a git
I think you will get a boycott alright Asif Kapadia, right here in America.
His "The Goat Who Loved Me" is the front-runner.
Muslims ‘boycotting’ America?

Boycott? Not me. He has some great places for the travel minded person.
Don’t throw me in that briar patch!
He’s lying. He would be allowed in if he was vetted.
Prince wasn’t a junkie. He was dependent on legal pain killers.
