Description
August Toronto The Coalition against Censorship (CAC), a band of twelve organizations (including the Body Politic), which had formed to lobby against all forms of state censorship, tried to arrange a legal, private screening of the movie The Tin Drum. The Ontario Censor Board had banned the film from public distribution in Ontario after the distributor, New World Mutual, refused to make three cuts to it. Plans for the private screening fell apart when New World Mutual balked at being associated with some of the "left leaning" organizations associated with CAC.
