An online documentary about the lives of six mothers and their gay or lesbian children was deemed inappropriate by the Chinese state censorship board and removedfrom the internet.
The documentary "Mama Rainbow" was made by Fan Popo, China’s leading queer filmmaker. The film had over 100,000 views on popular video portals such as YouKu.com. and 56.com.
The video was removed by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, the Chinese media regulatory agency, to “clean vulgar content from the Internet.”
Fan has filed an application asking that the agency provide the legal basis for its decision. "Mama Rainbow" was shown at film festivals in the US, India and Canada. It records the experiences of six different Chinese mothers of gay and lesbian children.
“Mama Rainbow paints a hopeful portrait of the slowly changing mindset of a culture where the fear of persecution and rejection still makes coming out and living openly a great challenge,” reports lgbtweekly.com.
Fan is best known as a gay filmmaker. He directs the China Queer Film Festival Tour, which has travelled to over 20 major cities in China since 2008 and has participated in international exchanges in Taipei, Copenhagen, Los Angeles and other places.

The "Forbidden Fruit" factor will only serve to make this important film all the more tempting for people to watch precisely BECAUSE they are being told not to watch it. Meanwhile, the govt. can keep their head in the sand and try to DENY the existence of PLU in China, but they will ultimately fail.
