Viewing of "Sickies Making Films" - A Film About Censorship

Helmke Library, Second Floor

Featuring John Walters

Decades before the existence of the MPAA and an implemented rating system, the United States had censors. At least seven states and dozens of cities across the country empowered government-employed censors to injudiciously cut films prior to their exhibition or even outright ban them. Sickies Making Films uses the nation's longest surviving censor board as a window into the tangled history of American movie censorship.

Come join us for this funny and thoughtful documentary on film censorship. We'll have popcorn and a good time!
