Storyline: Meet the Censors 2020 From a Kafkaesque office for social media in Germany into South Sudan military headquarters, to conversations with an Iranian Ayatollah, Indian film censors and Chinese news editors Norwegian filmmaker Hvard Fossum has traveled the world to understand what censorship is, allowing the censors themselves to state their case Hearing the word censorship makes us cringe, but is it a misunderstood idea With remarkable access to a secretive world, Fossum intimately follows the daily working lives of the censors, giving a rare insight into the ways information is controlled, from the Communist Party in Beijing to the corridors of power in Washington If theres one thing the censors have in common, its that theyre all convinced theyre working for a good cause, and that censorship is a bulwark against social chaos Its a paradoxical project with both comical and tragic consequences, but in these disruptive times, where censorship itself is taking on new forms, theres reason to listen At once laugh out loud funny, deeply shocking and thought provoking, this timely and intelligent doc will stay with you long after you watch it
