So, there's a behind-the-scenes doc on the making of Am I Racist? Yep.
Sometimes you need to clear some things up... especially on such hot political topics as the ones the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh tackles in his hit satirical doc Am I Racist?
But wait, was "AIR" that much of a hit? Absolutely. It was lauded by many, including by Boreing & Walsh, in numerous places to be the most financially successful doc of the last decade.
The Academy Awards announced the shortlist for documentaries. These are their top 15 films in the genre that will be whittled down to 5 nominees. “Am I Racist?” did not make the top 15 even though it is the highest grossing doc of the decade and easily the most talked about, most…

Decade... not year.
And when the Oscars snubbed the film, by not showing it in the top 15 of the doc films from last year, Deadline acknowledged it was a snub, noting that the film earned “more money at the box office than any other documentary this year, by far.”
Daily Wire reports on this here.
Matt Walsh stated about the Awards snub...
“If a conservative can make a documentary that crushes every other film in its genre that year and beats every film in its genre in the past 6 or 7 years, and yet still not even crack the top 15, that means that conservatives are simply excluded from having their work recognized,” he wrote. “Again, this is not a surprise. But that’s what it means.”
“One thing I’ve learned after getting into filmmaking is that the Left truly believes it owns the art of filmmaking,” Walsh asserted. “Any conservative who makes a film is an intruder, a sinister usurper showing up in a place where he doesn’t belong.”
“The truth is that the success of my films — and they are both easily the most watched and influential documentaries of the decade — actually makes it LESS likely that they’ll be recognized by critics or awards,” the conservative added. “Our success is an affront to them. They hate us for it.”
