I agree, and I'll say the same thing I've said everywhere else about this movie. If it upsets you then you should be asking WHY and HOW this movie came to be made, instead of getting mad at the movie itself and pretending that sexualisation of little girls isn't a real thing that happens in real life.

But how do you excuse the directors having to watch multiple little girls twerk in order to film it? Or the scenes where they unnecessarily zoom in on the girls' private parts? Do we have to sexualize little girls in order to show people that "it exists"?

It's even worse than you say. Far worse.

The director and producer of this film didn't come across multiple little girls who were twerking on their own and then decided to record it. The director and producer had a screenplay in hand, then went out to find little girls age 11 (or who looked 11) to cast in the movie. They had casting calls for hundreds of little girls in search of the ones they would finally select and make subject to sexualization for the "artistic merit" and purposes of the movie's message.

Once the director and producer decided on which girls to cast, they and their crew taught those little girls to twerk for the cameras.
