Youtube censored Colombine movie with Christian slant: wnd.com For some 11 months, the makers of the new movie “I’m Not Ashamed” about the young girl who was the first victim of the Columbine killers in Colorado in 1999 were unable to promote their movie through Youtube. The trailer was taken down late in 2015, and the movie’s entire channel then was suspended. It’s back now, with the movie opening on Oct. 21, but the makers still want to know why the Internet company took the damaging action. The Hollywood Reporter noted Youtube released a generic statement that, “sometimes we make the wrong call on content that is flagged by our community. When this is brought to our attention, we review the content and take appropriate action, including restoring videos or channels that were mistakenly removed.” So it took 11 months to review? The response is not good enough, film producer Chuck Howard told the Reporter. After all, when he was told last October that the trailer violated Youtube standards, he asked why. Over and over and over again. Movieguide reports the Pure Flix Entertainment release is about Rachel Joy Scott, the teenage girl who was a victim in the Columbine High shooting. It describes the movie as an “evangelistic message” about Scott. Howard, who asked Youtube for an explanation, suggested that a possible explanation is the depiction of the Columbine shooting, which he described as intense but not graphic. “If you look at the objectionable videos on YouTube – beheadings, recruitment videos for ISIS – and they take ours down because it has the name ‘Jesus’ in it? It’s the only reason they’d take it down. Then, magically, it’s back up the moment the press calls them on it,” he noted. The Reporter had inquired about the issue at the time. WND also submitted a request to Youtube for comment, but didn’t get a response. Howard explained the 11 months the channel was blocked interfered with the movie’s promotions, and he is seeking compensation.
