Refused Classification

Synopsis

Margaret and David are two of the biggest reviewers in Australia. They get to watch as many movies as they want. Everything is going awesome… until the government tries to ban a little film called Ken Park at the 2003 Sydney Film Festival.

The hit live show that sold out comedy festivals across Australia returns for one night only. Comedians and film lovers Zachary Ruane and Alexei Toliopoulos recount this little nugget of Australian history in this outrageous hybrid of comedy show, documentary and verbatim theatre.
