In the Grunwald cinema, when I was 5 years old, I saw the first film in my life: the classic of the Disney movie “Aladdin”, which premiered in 1992. It was 120 minutes of pure magic of the silver screen: a golden-haired street thief, a flying carpet, an angry vizier, an Arab princess and her father – the sultan, a genie trapped in a lamp, monkeys and parrots. All this happening in the magical world of the Orient – the fictitious city of Agrabah. A place that 41% of Trump’s voters felt should be bombed.”
