Swedish censorship / rating
| Certificate number | 200688 |
|---|---|
| Date | 2012-01-13 |
| Classification | Suitable for all audiences |
| Grounds for decision | En dokumentär om den globala yttrandefriheten där ett litet filmbolag och fruktgiganten Dole står mot varandra. Filmatiseringen saknar inslag som bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet hos barn i någon ålder. |
