I had no idea someone made a film about Kelo. It's in my queue right now!
And yes, Hollywood has become conformist...and quite boring. I just read that the new Perry Mason series, dark in visuals and dark in theme, will be about racist police practices against two "Latinx" men. This has become a cliche.
Interesting point about how the majoritarianism drove even greater uniformity once the 50% threshold had been reached in certain departments. I found the same dynamic when, in conformity with the rule that everyone should get an equal turn, conservatives, like me, would shut down, because voicing our opinion in a room full of leftists would just lead to 10 people in a row explaining how that opinion was driven by racism. There needs to be non-majoritarian rules in place in situations where viewpoints are lopsidedly in one direction.
