From Alberta-born filmmaker Sean Patrick Shaul (F*** YOU ALL, THE UWE BOLL STORY) comes a fascinating, provocative, and wildly entertaining dissection of the history of music censorship.

Music has always defined our culture, from poignant protest songs to fluffy Top 40 hits. With such a powerful influence on all aspects of society, the messages and themes conveyed by musicians have long been considered "dangerous" to some.

Spanning the early twentieth century to Tipper Gore’s ‘Parental Advisory’ crusade and beyond, this eye-opening film looks at how the censorship of music has shaped how we make and view art, and who we are as consumers and free-thinkers.
