Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing touted Daily Wire’s upcoming movie “Am I Racist?” as a breakthrough for conservative filmmaking.
Boreing praised the film during the latest episode of Backstage filmed at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Wednesday. The episode was released on Thursday, coinciding with the release of pre-sale tickets for the new movie starring Daily Wire host Matt Walsh.
Walsh’s latest film shows the Daily Wire commentator going undercover among members of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion crowd, including scoring a sitdown interview with author Robin DiAngelo. “Am I Racist?” is Walsh’s second film after “What Is A Woman?” released in 2022.

“The movie is a great successor to ‘What Is A Woman?,’ but it is an evolution. It’s not another, sort of, documentary where Matt, the every-man, goes in and has conversations with these people. It’s really something we haven’t seen before from the right,” Boreing said. “It is a genuine comedy in which you allow these people to be the butt of the joke in a way that we’ve historically only seen from Sacha Baron Cohen, or even John Stewart in sort of the heyday of the Daily Show.”
“You both mock and allow these people to mock themselves in a way that I don’t think we’ve ever seen on the right. It’s a truly special film and a true risk,” Boreing said.
“Am I A Racist?” will open in theaters on September 13. Walsh asked fans to buy tickets to see the movie earlier in order to give it the widest possible reach.

“Preordering tickets is so important – and I know that if you’re like me, I’ve never pre-ordered a movie ticket in my life because, I don’t know, like I get to see one movie every 10 years. I don’t know when that time will come. When it comes. We go. But it’s so important in this case because that determines a lot,” Walsh said.
“It determines how many theaters get to show the movie, and it determines the success of the movie in a big way. And if we want more films like this to make it into theaters, then that’s why we need all of your support,” he continued. “But the thing is we’re not just asking for charity here. I promise that when you go watch the movie, you’re in for a really fun time at the movies as well.”
