The film, considered one of the iconic films of Hollywood, was withdrawn from the summer programming of the Memphis Orpheum cinema, in the United States ...

The reason for this decision is that the school management felt that the 1939 classic about a topic like slavery from the point of view rather insensitive. This happened after the first screening performed in this film, when the organizers received complaints from viewers who spoke on social media and strongly criticized the portrait is made of colored people. Recall that the film was winner of eight Oscars, including best picture, best director, best actress and best supporting actress for Hattie McDaniel, who became the first dark-skinned actress nominee and winner of an Oscar.
