[Movies] Movies About Censorship

Censorship

This is not the usual kind of post I make reviewing movies, but a little compilation of movies about the problem of censorship.

This is dedicated to @ and is a (somehow) "continuation" of her post The Threat of Censorship. That excellent post talked about several great books that mention the censorship issue and the importance of being aware of the importance of defending our freedoms.

Adding to that post, there are many movies that tackle the issue and these are some of the trailer of those films...

Beautiful

finally after many requests! great post +10

I think that technology, such as cameras all over the world's big cities are fine, as long they lead a quality life change for the better. Cutting robery, organizing car traffic, etc. But, what happens when this information is reached by unscrupulous hands?

It's an issue that's been around for many years but it seems to be getting worse. Our lives are becoming less and less private.

read the books, they are way better!

Globalization is good for the access we can have to a lot of information... sadly, it goes the other way around too, and our privacy is not so private
