After The Spider-Verse, 7 Movies Have Been Banned In Lebanon In 2 Years

We unfortunately have to come back and update our list of banned movies in Lebanon with some recent additions from the last two years. With film censorship amplifying across the region, we truly are beginning to fear for some of the summer’s exciting blockbusters. If they ban Barbie, we riot.
