Heart of the Beholder
16 May '07 09:14Anyone heard of this movie? It's about an independant video store owner who lost everything because of the actions of his local church in opposition to his video stock. His story is here: http://www.beholder.com/HeartOfTheBeholderBackground.aspx
Whilst I'm usually loathe to promote this sort of thing, I'm interested in the question of censorship. Is it morally permissible for a local group to demand censorship of art in opposition of the law? Is it more or less feasable to demand it when the grounds are religious? Are the actions the group took to achieve their goals in balance with their desire to create what they see as a morally upstanding community?
