The Netflix film "365 days" turns out to be a scandal streak. Singer Duffy also criticizes. She was kidnapped and raped.
The singer Duffy (36, "Rockferry"), who made her trauma after a kidnapping and rape public in February, shoots in an open letter against the scandal film "365 days" on Netflix. In the statement, which is available, among others, from the British tabloid "The Sun", she writes that the work is "the glorification of sex trade". She asks Netflix boss Reed Hastings (59) to think about his actions.
Duffy's urgent appeal
"365 days" tells the story of a Polish businesswoman kidnapped by an attractive mafioso on a trip to Italy. He explains that she is his dream woman and that he will hold her for 365 days so that she has time to fall in love with him. The film lives from the erotic tension between the two main characters, which eventually lead to explicit sex scenes.
The Welsh singer was once drugged, detained for several days and raped. The film downplayed such acts, she writes in the direction of Netflix. But it is not entertainment and therefore such stories should not be turned into money at all.
"I am saddened that Netflix is a platform for such a 'cinema', which erotizes kidnappings and depicts sexual violence and human trafficking distorted, packaged as a 'sexy' film," continues Duffy. She couldn't understand how the streaming provider could overlook how careless, insensitive, and dangerous it was. Duffy concludes her letter with the words: "If we know better, we should do better."
