In many of those countries, many could not conceive of such a film being made let alone published without government permission.

Even if they accept that it was independently created, they cannot accept that the government could not stop its distribution now.

Their limitations, inflamed by leaders with their own agendas are what is leading to the violence.

Mature societies deal with trash like the video appropriately.
