Motion Picture ban.

The Motion Picture "Creation" (2009) which opened to rave reviews at the Toronto Film Festival this month has not been able to find a distributor in the United States of America because of the fear of a backlash from the Religious Right.

Most Christian denominations have accepted evolution as a scientific reality, saying that "Evolution Science tells us how God created Man, Religion Tells us Why."

Apparently this attitude is anathema to the Christian Right and they have been able to stifle this motion picture by intimidating producers in this country.

The film has either opened, or will be opening soon, in all of the other industrialized countries on Earth.

It's time the rest of us stood up on our hind legs and demanded that this type of censorship end!

The United States of America was once [perhaps] a bastion of freedom of speech.

Not now.

I have relations in San Diego, they reckon its a police state.

If you are going to spew posts like this atleast stay up to date...Creation is scheduled for release in the US on 1-22-2010. This release has been scheduled since October 2009, long before your post. Also the movie was not being released because citizens voiced no interest as soon as there was interest a US film distributor picked it up. This is not censorship; its business sense. If there is no market, you don't produce; if there is, then you do...also known as capitalism.
