If you are a fan of the 1939 Film, Gone With The Wind, don’t expect it to be on the streaming service HBO Max for a while. On Tuesday, June 9th, 2020, HBO Max has decided to pull the film in order to address the racism in the movie after an article was published addressing how the movie romanticizes the horrors of slavery and racism. The company doesn’t plan to make any direct edits or changes to the movie itself but plans to have a discussion on racism instead in order to promote awareness with the Black Lives Matter Movement.
This is an extremely huge movie considering what has been going on in the country right now, with the protests and the killing of George Floyd. HBO has yet to comment on the move itself or the protests, but this move has become a huge change for many people who support anti-racism.
