'The Kingdom' banned in Kuwait
'The Kingdom' a movie directed by Peter Berg and starring Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Ashraf Barhom, and Ali Suliman.
The film is fictional, but inspired by bombings at at the Riyadh compound (May 12, 2003) and the Khobar housing complex (June 26, 1996) in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The story follows a team of FBI agents who are sent to investigate the bombing of a foreign-workers facility. Screenwriter Matthew Michael Carnahan has summarized the plot: "What would a murder investigation look like on Mars?”
Maybe some are appreciating this movie there are others who does not agree with it.
"The Kingdom" movie has been banned in Bahrain and Kuwait. Reports suggest sensitive censors were upset with the portrayal of Islamic fundamentalists in the film.
The movie will debut in other Middle Eastern territories later this week.
Maybe sometimes truth hurts, but in this case there is no need to ban a movie, because people have the right to find the reality.
