Your Favorite Movie Might Have Been Banned In These Countries

Schindler’s List

You would think that a Steven Speilberg film highlighting the significance of the Holocaust would be practically mandatory viewing for history buffs. Well, the people of Indonesia would disagree. In fact, the country banned the whole film when it was made. But why?

They claimed that the film was ‘too sympathetic to the Jewish cause’. While it was obviously going to be sympathetic to Jews and their history, it is surprising that a country would not want to promote that.
