Tuesday 12th January Debating the Blue Story Short film ban

 According to the Sun article - why was the Blue Story banned in Vue and showcase cinemas? 

A boy in a camouflage jacket brought a machete to the seeing to recreate the events. The police collected 2 machetes and a knife from 5:30 pm. There was multiple issues occurring because of the screening of the movie meaning it got banned for police was having to be on sight in case of any violence and violent weapons. Film had gang violence in it influencing teens to do the same. 

What type of issues did police say the film cause? What effects does the article say the film ha on teenagers? 

Teenagers where becoming violent and vicious. Harm to others (kids wanting to watch frozen 2 waiting in line with families). 

According to the BBC article - what are the arguments against Blue Water being banned as part of a national moral panic about the content of the film?

Racist if the film is banned. International film and targets a very specific audience. Does not have the same effect on everyone as it does on others.

Rogers (1980) ideal selves 

I personally do not believe that this movies should have been banned nationally for it showed other sides to the world and how other people’s lives are and that some people may be more privileged then others. I believe this film is an eye opener for people to notice what else is going on.
