A new trailer for a movie based on global anti-censorship campaign Free the Nipple has been criticized by viewers because it features actresses whose nipples have been blurred out.
The movie, which is due to be released on December 12, is a satirical account of the story behind the Free the Nipple campaign and is directed by the movement's founder, Lina Esco, who also stars as one of the main characters.
But while the full-length film, which will reportedly not contain any censorship, focuses on the group's fierce battle to see censorship laws changed, the only scene in the trailer where there is any nudity has been censored - much to the outrage of the campaign's most dedicated supporters.
