• Why Mulan is a lightning rod for controversy

Disney's live-action remake of Mulan, already the target of a boycott, has come under fire for filming in Xinjiang, the site of alleged widespread human rights abuses against Uighurs and other Muslim minorities.

The film, directed by Niki Caro, is an adaptation of Disney's 1998 animation about Hua Mulan, a young woman who disguises herself as a man to fight in the imperial army in her father's stead.
