In this asynchronous course, we will examine some of the most important films censored in different nations and cultures throughout the history of cinema. These films, censored, challenged, or banned on political, social, sexual, religious grounds, and for violent contents, will provide fascinating material to consider the relationship between culture and politics, morality and ideology. Films may come from the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, China, India, Thailand, Germany, and Belgium.
