More than 30,000 people have signed a petition asking Netflix to remove “Cuties,” a movie they claim sexualizes children.

The film, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, premieres on the streaming service Sept. 9. The trailer was released earlier this week on YouTube. It has a TV-MA rating from Netflix.

“Eleven-year-old Amy starts to rebel against her conservative family’s traditions when she becomes fascinated with a free-spirited dance crew,” the film’s description reads on the site.

However, Metro reports that the original summary was much more salacious: “Amy, 11, becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her family’s traditions.” . . .

The main character, Amy, is a Senegalese Muslim girl who lives in a poor neighborhood in France.

The French film, which also goes by “Mignonnes,” was written and directed by Maïmouna Doucouré, who is also Senegalese. She won the jury award at Sundance for directing the movie.

Her inspiration for the film came from seeing an amateur talent show in Paris. “There were these girls onstage dressed in a really sexy fashion in short, transparent clothes,” the first-time director told ScreenDaily. “They danced in a very sexually suggestive manner. There also happened to be a number of African mothers in the audience. I was transfixed, watching with a mixture of shock and admiration. I asked myself if these young girls understood what they were doing.” . . .

“When you call a movie ‘Cuties’ and promote it like this: That’s sexualizing 11yr old kids,” wrote @iDavid76. “Shame on you, @Netflix.”

“The thing about the Netflix campaign for Cuties is how disgustingly sexualized these girls are,” posted @wwarrior_1. “Compare the poster and blurb from Netflix versus the ones on IMDb, s - - t is as different as night and day. Someone should get fired.”

“Black girls suffering from Adultification bias is very f - - king real,” said another user. “No child should ever be put into any disgusting situation like this.”

    You may want to try again … it clicked through for me.

    If you get to the Change.org website, you can search for the Netflix Cuties petition.

    Blessings!

Father! We cry out to you! Heal our nation from debased minds! Cruel, perverted and utterly sinful are we as a people! We need You to come back in our country and help Your church first! We are ripe with sin! Forgive us Father! We have allowed this in our country by staying silent and some of us participate. Forgive my sin first Father. I am in need of Your mercy and forgiveness. Heal our land, in the Name above all names, King Jesus. Amen.
