Singapore Screening Cancelled
The govenment censors in Singapore decided that in order to approve a public screening of the ballad certain scenes had to be removed. They deemed that "scenes showing instructive detail of drug use" which "glamorize or promote drug use" are not allowed, even for their R21 rating.
Clearly we do not agree with this assesment of the film as a whole or regarding the scenes in question. In our appeal we argued the opposite, stating that the film served to demonstrate the dangers of drug use. Our appeal was rejected and "the ballad" screening has therefore been cancelled.
