Your Favorite Movie Might Have Been Banned In These Countries

Milk

Milk stars Sean Penn in the autobiographical drama about Harvey Milk – the first openly gay person to be elected into public office in California. While the 2009 film was a celebration for the expansion of civil rights for most parts of the world, Milk remained banned by Romania and Samoa.

It wasn’t initially explained why the film was banned from Samoa, but the country later clarified that it was ‘inappropriate and contradictory to Christian beliefs’. They made special note of the sex scenes included in the film.
