    The Voice is Reached
    Banning the movie has sent a stronger massage than it was expected. Everyone will want to know what the movie is about and will try to get a pirated copy of it. So definitely the impact will be greater and the voice will reach stronger than it was supposed. It’s high time the Lebanese quit living in denial and face the social problems that lurk under. Isn’t dealing with these issues healthier to us and our future generation?
