Famous Movies That Have Been Banned All Over the World

Banning a Masterpiece

Persepolis was banned originally because it was "offensive to Iran and Islam," but public outcry forced this film to see the light. However, the Iranian government did everything in its power to pull this film from festivals and out of theaters in the surrounding areas. This is one of the most important animated films ever made, seriously.
