Banned, Censored, Silenced: 13 films Kept from the Public
In an ideal scenario, production on any film follows a schedule and is released to an adoring audience that praises the hard work of all those involved. This is what most filmmakers strive for, but the reality is that not all movies have it easy when faced with censorship or outright banning. Conversely, a film can evolve as one is working on it to the point where the filmmakers themselves want to be disconnected from the project; directors would even change their credit to “Allan Smithee” for a period from 1968 until 2000 to have their name removed from any projects they were ashamed of.
