Censored in Leeds!
Just to Get a Rep was originally accepted for the 6th Leeds Children & Young People's Film Festival to be held this March. However, the Leeds Council licensing board decided that the film was not appropriate due to language and the discussion of theft and danger. It's ironic that a film about young people's creativity is banned from a Young People's Film Festival.
Obviously, we are very disappointed by this and have sent complaints to the Leeds Council. Please take a moment to send a complaint to the Leeds Council using their online complaint form.
