‘Hunters’ Creator Says We’re Currently Facing ‘an Epidemic of Anti-Semitism’ Not ‘Seen in Decades’
“Hunters” may be set in 1970s New York City, but the message of the upcoming Amazon Nazi-hunting series is about as timely as it gets.“We’re facing an epidemic of anti-Semitism, racism, xenophobia — the likes of which we haven’t seen in decades,” creator David Weil said Tuesday at the Television Critics Association press tour. “So this show is really a question. It’s: ‘What do you do?'”“For this show about a group of vigilantes who try and reclaim the power, the question the show poses is: ‘If you hunt monsters, do you risk becoming a monster yourself?'” Weil continued. “I think that’s very timely, I think it’s a question we should all be asking ourselves in this day and age.”Also Read: Former 'Agt' Judge Heidi Klum Weighs in on Flap Over Gabrielle Union Ouster“Hunters” follows a diverse band of Nazi hunters living in 1977 New York City. ...
