Description In yet another controversial move by the Samoa Censor Board, the movie Milk based on the life of gay activist Harvey Milk has been banned from Samoa.

The movie was rejected by the Censorship Board two weeks ago after it was presented by one of the local movie stores for the board's approval and rating.

Principal Censor Leiataua Niuapu Faaui confirmed the board had rejected an application for the movie to be distributed in movie stores in Samoa.

Asked for the reasons behind their rejection of the movie, Leiataua declined to comment saying he needed the approval of the Censorship Board chairman to comment.
