"American studios shouldn’t be creating CCP propaganda"

Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., re-introduced the Stopping Communist Regimes from Engaging in Edits Now Act, or SCREEN Act, on Wednesday.

“Since I introduced the SCREEN Act in [February 2022], the Communist Chinese Party escalated attempts to censor free speech in the United States. The CCP will not make our film industry an arm of its propaganda machine,” Green, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said in a press release.

“One bright spot in Hollywood is the way Paramount stood up to the CCP when asked to censor ‘Top Gun: Maverick.’ Now, this film has been nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars and was the highest grossing domestic release of 2022,” Green said. “We need more studios willing to put Beijing in its place. My legislation will create the incentive for more Hollywood studios to take a stand against Communist China.”
