There has been a ruckus in America because of the ongoing movements against apartheid. Meanwhile, HBO Max has removed the classic Oscar-winning film 'Gone with the Wind' from its library for the time being.
A spokesman for HBO Max has said, "Gone with the Wind is a film of its time that depicts some ethnic and racial prejudices, which is unfortunately common in American society." He said, "These racist depictions were wrong even then and still wrong, and we felt that it would be irresponsible to keep this title without explanation and to reject those statements." If we create a more equitable and inclusive future, then we must first accept and understand our history. '
For the information, let us tell you that the death of an African-American man George Floyd in America on May 25 has sparked a worldwide movement against police brutality, racism and social injustice. Many big names of this entertainment industry have raised their voice against this injustice by taking to the streets, addressing the crowd and against discrimination through social media.
