One hundred years ago, film censorship was introduced to New Zealand, making it illegal to show any film without it first being passed by the Censor. From 16 to 26 November, Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision will mark the centenary with a season of banned films and debate, called CENSORED. There is a public discussion happening tonight, and one panellist speaking, is chief censor Dr Andrew Jack.
