Description
In early 1981, the First-degree censorship committee banned the screening of the documentary THE TRIAL OF THE JUNTA, directed by Theodosis Theodosopoulos. The committee’s argument was that the documentary concerned not only the period of the military dictatorship (1967-1974), but it “goes back over the past and it stirs political passions”, which can “cause a disturbance of public order”.
