Wonder Woman ban in Lebanon

Available for over a year

Why has the new Wonder Woman superhero movie been banned from cinemas in Lebanon? We hear about the campaign to boycott the film starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot and speak to political analyst Halim Shebaya in Beirut and Hollywood screenwriter Kamran Pasha in LA, on their arguments for and against the boycott and the ban. The Turkish author Ece Temelkuran shares her concerns on how the increased powers of President Erdogan will impact on a generation of Turkish women. As the far right AFD or Alternative for Germany party seeks to enter the national parliament for the first time in September's German elections, we hear why a play called Fear by theater director Falk Richter provoked legal action from a member of the AFD.
