Self censorship is something even toddlers have to learn. They learn how to not blurt out that someone is fat, how certain words aren't appropriate for every situation, and that not everyone needs their opinion. The interviewees in this film seemed to skip that important life step and have come together in a 90 minute documentary to tell you how upset they are by being censored by their peers. They have all misinterpreted what the first amendment of the constitution actually is and the director obviously doesn't know either.
Prepare yourself to listen to misogynists (bitter about being fired for hate speech), priests, rabbis, and white supremacists (who they call "alt-right advocates.") Good luck getting through it.

The really ironic part of this movie is it frames all these people who have been censored as being "anti-free speech". And that's not true. Free speech isn't actually protected under the constitution of the United States. Or at least it is but not in the way these people go on about it.
Free Speech, better known as the First Amendment, doesn't say you can say whatever you like and not get in trouble. It says the government can't tell you what you can say and what you can't. And the meaning of it was clear at least back in the day when it was written. Namely the government couldn't put you in jail for speaking poorly about the government itself. You could criticize the President or Congress or anybody in government and you wouldn't then be hauled before a judge and thrown in jail. It makes no mention of what you can and can't say to another person and it makes no mention that you can't be prosecuted or fired from a position for saying something that goes against what your employer says or does.
And that's what this movie is about. A bunch of people that have gotten in trouble for saying things that their employers or people in general got angry at and they were fired, fined or blasted by the general population.
Remember, free speech isn't truly free. Try shouting "fire" in a crowded theater and see how well it goes. And an employer is well within their rights to fire somebody that criticizes their business practices.

This is a breath of fresh air on the state of how are world is gulping are culture. We are at war with what is OK to say and what is not OK to say. This has an equation where people are only comfortable about what they want to hear but at times what needs to be said. Acceptance of young indoctrination

Its no secret that free speech is under attack using the dtupid guise of 'hate speech' because sensitive people fall for it.
I rated this a 10. In reality its abbout a 6 or a 7 because the production value is kind of low. Despite that, the message is very important. Also the other people rating it a 1 are the exact people I refer to above. You can tell they didnt even watch it. They came here to rate it low to promote their agenda. Sickening.

This is a daring movie and the review from Inpeters just shows that he clearly did not watch the movie. There is people from all walks of life and of any colour. It seems like he just watched the first ten min and then made up his mind about it.
Later in the movie black and asian comedians talk about censorship. There is also
people who are clearly racist in the movie so there you have it. The guy did not watch the movie and therefore you can skip his remark. This movie is important.
