‘Unplanned’ Movie Director on Censorship: ‘Why Does This Only Seem to Happen to Conservatives?’
 

(CNSNews.com) – The director of the movie “Unplanned,” which tells the story of former Planned Parenthood Director Abby Johnson, who became pro-life,” testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday about the censorship he encountered when trying to promote the film on social media.

Chuck Konzelman, writer and director of the film, told the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution” how he chose to advertise on social media after the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) gave the film an “R” rating, which he said “strongly discourages much of the Christian audience and all of the Church of Latter-day Saints” from seeing the film, because “they have a general prohibition against seeing ‘R’ rated films.”
