Movies about Censorship

This list about censorship does not only regard journalism. Indeed, there is plenty of room to talk about the controversial American practice of McCarthyism (The Front and others) and its heavy crackdown, recurring themes in cinema, literature and theatre. There are also films about pirate radios and their “forbidden” broadcasts (The Boat That Rocked) as well as cinematographic works dealing with the delicate issue of literary obscenity. Interestingly enough, many biopics of different settings focus on this last theme: among all, Wilde and Howl, which focus on the famous Allen Ginsberg’s poem, whose most interesting passages cover the case built by the American government after the publication in order to ban the book.
