Kiera Knightley Domestic Violence PSA Banned As Too Violent
Posted on 28. Apr, 2009 by CSS in Entertainment
An anti-domestic violence public service announcement starring Keira Knightley has been banned from British television after censors branded its content too violent.
In the ad, the Atonement star plays an actress returning home from a film set to be confronted by a violent boyfriend who accuses her of having an affair with a co-star–she is then attacked and knocked to the floor.
I believe the powerful images this PSA puts out are incredibly beneficial in helping stop domestic violence. It is intended to stir something inside of you, to continue to open up discussions about this topic. I wish they hadn’t banned it!
