Rated “R” ends crisis with censorship for the movie “The Traveler”

Last Wednesday before the release of the movie “The Traveler” director Ahmed Maher discovered yet another problem with the censorship committee related to the movie. The 2 scenes that were subject to discussion were negotiated earlier and approved, now the censorship committee only agreed to play them if the whole movie was rated “R”.The 2 scenes where, first, an intimate scene between Khaled El Nabawi and Serene Abdel Noor and the second one was of a Lebanese actress breast feeding a baby.Maher had to choose between deleting the 2 scenes entirely or rating the movie “R” in order for the movie to play in cinemas, and he chose the latter.The movie plays in 5 theaters, and it is staring Omar El Sherif, Khaled Nabawi, Serene Abdel Nour and Sherif Ramzy and it is written and directed by Ahmed Maher.
