Controversial
Cinema: the Films that Outraged America
"Since the widespread
banning of DW Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, the
American film industry has found itself embroiled in one
political controversy after another. These controversies
have centered on everything from the portrayal of the
past, as in Griffith's film, to depictions of sex and
sexuality, to the use of graphic violence, and issues of
race, religion, and politics. In turn, segments of the
American public have been driven to boycott, picket, and
even censor those films they felt challenged their sense
of decency.
