If it has been banned, then what follows in this post must not be true: banning would mean stopping others from showing it. Also, just incidentally, Clark Drive in what city in what state or province in what nation? Who made the film? etcetera etcetera. All of these posts should have offered some basic facts in a short brief paragraph before they plunged into denouncing whatever it is that they are denouncing. I would guess that what has happened is (a) Amnesty made a film (b) Amnesty decided not to show it (c) someone stole a copy of it and is showing it elsewhere? That sounds unlikely, but please give some facts, then give an explanation of the facts, then and only then move on to suggestions of how to respond to the situation. I haven't had much time lately to read e-mail, and nothing that I've looked at quickly (and that's all I have time to do) has even told me who made the film or how it was supposed to be shown before Amnesty did whatever it did. Is it a film or video? How did Amnesty happen to have the power to "ban" it?
