From the Hays Code to X-Rated Movies: A History of Hollywood Censorship

From the Hays Code to X-Rated Movies: A History of Hollywood Censorship

From its very beginnings in the 1890s, motion pictures have delighted the public and upset civic and religious authorities who felt that movies needed to be regulated to protect "innocent" minds and discourage immorality.

This virtual presentation by lecturer Brian Rose will look at 125 years of movie censorship and the many ways Hollywood has tried to deal with this continuing issue. Hosted on Zoom. Free and open to all. Register here: http://bit.ly/Hollywood7-28.
