#FirstThingsFirst - Reviewing inherent prejudices in art

The Appeals Tribunal of the Film & Publications Board has ruled that the initial rating of 16 LNP (SV) on a documentary on cartoonist Jonathan “Zapiro” Shapiro’s life, The Showerhead, was unwarranted and gave it a more sensible 13 L (SV) rating. The team reflects on this by discussing prejudice in the arts and how artists, mostly cartoonists and satirists, have enjoyed liberties under the guise of freedom of speech. They pondered, how far do we let artists go? Are we being too sensitive, or should we be reviewing the art we see today?
