NEW documentary Censoring Palestine is under attack by “secret censors” out to suppress it, according to its producer.

The film’s producer Norman Thomas said at least three screenings have been dropped at short notice following “back-doors pressure” being put on the venues.

“Venues are told to drop the film or there’ll be trouble,” he said.

“This is the most crude and malicious form of censorship — the worst kind because it’s secret.”

The film, produced by London-based Platform Films, investigates allegations that mainstream media has repeatedly failed to report accurately on Palestine and that counter-terrorism laws are being abused to silence voices.

It features contributions from director Ken Loach, musician Roger Waters, actor Alexei Sayle and two mothers of imprisoned pro-Palestine activists.

Platform Films faced similar suppression attempts with Oh Jeremy Corbyn — The Big Lie, which was famously pulled from Glastonbury Festival in 2023 following pressure from pro-Israel lobby groups.

Mr Thomas said: “I believe the reasons behind the attacks on our new film are at the bottom the same as the attacks on our film about Jeremy Corbyn.

“We are trying to tell the truth about what’s happening in Palestine and there are people and organisations out there who just don’t want that truth told.

“But whatever happens we will carry on. Screenings of the films are continuing across the country, from Penzance to Glasgow, and we will carry on supporting them. We need to get the truth out there.”

Mr Thomas and director Chris Reeves will discuss the censorship attempts at a screening at the Palace Cinema in Broadstairs, Kent, at 7pm on Sunday March 23.
