People are finding their courage. Everyone needs to stand up to these asshats because we all know the more you give in the more they will demand

PBS also pulled the website for the film from PBS.org, at least until shortly after I'd reached out for comment and the film promptly reappeared on the schedule.

Just to clarify, does this sequence of events also happen to at least one film in every season for a variety of reasons?

4/4

The film's director, @janemwagner.bsky.social, told me that POV's executive producers were explicit about the fact that her film had lost its premiere date for political reasons-- a fact they subsequently confirmed by email.

Thanks for amplifying Liz!

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social I know you're a fan of speedrunning 😂, would love if you would check out my film that offers a nuanced view of digital culture that PBS censored because of it's "trans themes" and fear of political backlash!

Thank you for this piece. I’m neither a gamer or trans, but I’m looking forward to watching this documentary. I think it’s important for everyone to support independent filmmaking, no matter the content. @janemwagner.bsky.social

you can also contact PBS here and let them know how you feel about them censoring stories about trans people www.pbs.org/about/about-...
