We got a call over the weekend from our Australian distributor, Madman Entertainment, letting us know that the New Zealand Office of Film and Literature Classification (with the curiously Orwellian website of censorship.govt.nz) has classified Cocaine Cowboys 2 as "objectionable" and is refusing to certify its distribution unless we "remove a sequence which promotes and encourages criminal acts..."

The sequence begins at 6:54

I understand how the sequence might upset people, how people might find it objectionable, but if you Google "how to make crack cocaine", you come up with 1,870,000 results. Maybe the Office of Film and Literature Classification should censor Google as well. Feel free to let the censors know what you think.
