THE BANNED "BOKO HARAM" MOVIE


here,s what african news is reporting:

"Silver Bird Cinemas Africa has banned and refused to show a new Nollywood movie titled ‘Boko Haram’ that seeks to portray the heinous acts of the group “Boko Haram” which literally means “School is sin.”
When contacted about their decision to not show the movie, they had this response;
“We had problems with the picture quality, and morally we taught it`s not the right time to show the movie. Aside that, it is a management decision not to show it for now although our aim is to help promote local movies. This particular movie has to stay aside for the time being,” he explained.
In a separate chat with the producer Pascal Amanfo, he stated that the movie might be having some kind of terrible happenings in West Africa and Nigeria, but fans shouldn’t forget that today it is Nigeria, tomorrow it can be another country so the movie’s aim is to only expose the activity of the group.
The movie ‘Boko Haram’ features Academy Awards best actor Majid Michel, and other A-list actors and actresses.
Was it the right thing to ban the movie? Or maybe showing the movie will actually properly expose the groups’ heinous activities and discourage any potential sympathizers they may have? Would you want the movie to be shown here in America? UK? or other countries for that matter?"
