[IMDB Summary](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12782812/): |
||||||
|
From a Kafkaesque office for social media in Germany into South Sudan military |
||||||
|
headquarters, to conversations with an Iranian Ayatollah, Indian film censors |
||||||
|
and Chinese news editors. Norwegian filmmaker Håvard Fossum has traveled the |
||||||
|
world to understand what censorship is, allowing the censors themselves to |
||||||
|
state their case. |

With no pretense whatsoever, I decided to watch this documentary. Its start is |
||||||
|
a bit wobbly, making you feel like you just jumped in the middle of something |
||||||
|
else. But also, in the very start, lies the kernel of the movie. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It all start with some Neo-nazi march. And there, it lies the question: |
||||||
|
Shouldn't those people be censored for spewing their hate? And thus start a |
||||||
|
quest to see how some countries do their censorship: What is censored? What are |
||||||
|
their rules? Do they *have* rules? |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The only downside is the ending: Sure, after going to China, Iran, India and |
||||||
|
such, you'd expect the filmmakers to go some where more "free". And, obviously, |
||||||
|
the "free" place is not as "free" as it seems. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's a curious documentary, with some expected results and some expected (no) |
||||||
|
answer. |
