Director Kathryn Bigelow thinks President Donald Trump should see her movie, Reuters news service reports.

"The film is a kind of indictment against the pervasiveness of racism. And obviously we see that pervasiveness occurring yet again a few days ago in Charlottesville," Bigelow told reporters in London last week at the movie's British premiere.

Bigelow said she "would encourage him (Trump) to see the movie only in the hope that it might humanize, perhaps something that is unimaginable for him."

"But my small platform is as a filmmaker and so I hope that I've sent a message to the world that we have to begin to talk about the inequity," she added.

The film has gotten its fair share of strong reviews, but has lackluster box office results.
