Should truth be banned in Liberia?

QUESTIONS:
* Should this or any film be banned from viewing in Liberia?

* Is it nobly bringing the Liberian child soldier's plight to light or exploiting a situation in the name of artistic license?

Liberia: Banned - 'Johnny Mad Dog'
8 July 2009

The filming of the movie, 'Johnny Mad Dog', according to Information Minister Lawrence Bropleh, was the heralding of Liberian cinematography. It would, he said at a 2007 press conference, put Liberia on the map, boosting tourism and all that. So why has the Ministry banned 'Johnny Mad Dog', a film set here with original actors, some of those who actually participated in horrifying killings and other acts during the war? Johnny Mad Dog' is one of those rare films in competition that tackles the challenges facing the African continent. The film brings Liberia's child soldiers to fore. Violently realistic, 'Johnny Mad Dog' portrays their cruel every day life, one review said.

But, on Thursday, 25 June 2009, the government banned the screening in the country...
it had toted as a prelude to Liberia's emergence as a hub to movie making and catalyst for tourism. Then Acting Information Minister Cletus Sieh said the movie depicts acts that are "not permissible to be viewed by children," warning that any video club found screening the 'Johnny Mad Dog' movie would be dealt with in "accordance with law.


When asked why Johnny Mad Dog was banned, Information Minister, Bropleh said: "...This movie is not allowed to be shown in public places. You can play it in your private residence but cannot display this movie publicly. We believe that at this point in time, we need not have the remembrance of our conflictual circumstances. And so while we agreed that Liberia be used as a place to film the movie, that you can now come to Liberia to film your movie, the movie is an excellent movie. Excellent acting on the part of the actors. But it is a movie that we agreed upon from day one when we got the scripts that Liberia will not be a distribution point. There was only one of the CDs that we understand came to Liberia. The French ambassador, myself, the Foreign Minister and few others watched the movie. We said excellent acting, not for Liberia."
