Excerpt: Banned from Television, also known as Banned from TV, is a 1998 direct-to-video, shockumentary film, that consists of various scenes of stock footage, depicting death and real scenes of violence. It is mainly about riots, car chases, crime, accidents and much much more from around the world. Despite its title with the word "Banned" in, it has been shown on Reality TV, as well as many European/Asian TV news channels when most of the things happened. It is banned in the United Kingdom by the BBFC because they argue that the footage was presented as 'entertainment'. Since its release, Banned From Television has been followed by two sequels, both of which were also released in 1998 and were direct-to-video. Combining all three films together, the total length is 144 minutes. Each clip used is accompanied by very stoic commentary from a narrator, who sometimes provides extra detail explaining whether the person survived or not, but for most of the clips no extra information is given. The most graphic part of each clip is usually repeated again in slow motion. Banned from Television was originally released on VHS in 1998, and was later released on DVD, on April 2, 2002. The Banned from Television series is distributed by Joe Francis of Mantra Films, which was formerly known as Fall Line Entertainment. The film opens with a montage of some of the clips that are used throughout the film. After this the film begins. In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a man with a knife holds an innocent baby as hostage. Police surround him and when he gets distracted an officer shoots him in the head, killing him instantly. The baby is taken away unharmed. On a street in Butte, Montana, Terry Rossland, an enraged and distraught man, sits in his car armed with pipe bombs and gasoline demanding to see his family. When the police surround him, Rossland blows the car up, then exits the vehicle and runs away on fire as rescue teams try to keep him alive. He survives, but one year later commits suicide by
