# South Africa’s Film and Publication Board has refused to classify a film for the first time in 13 years, barring its distribution and public screening. The documentary, Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America, was found to promote antisemitism, deny the Holocaust and incite hatred against Jewish people. The decision was published in the Government Gazette. Anyone who knowingly distributes, broadcasts or publicly exhibits the film, or offers it for sale or hire, faces a fine of up to 500-thousand-rand, five years in prison, or both.
