Can Mormons take the sex out of ?R? rated movies?

There are people who object to sex scenes in films. The Mormon Church goes so far as to advocate that their members avoid ?R? rated films. But with so many good movies carrying the dreaded ?R,? what is a devout Mormon to do? A company called Clean Flicks came up with a solution - edit out the offensive parts and everyone will be happy. Or so they thought.

Cleanflix examines the phenomenon of self-censorship in a fascinating, thought provoking and evenhanded manner. Focusing on a few individuals with Clean Flick stores and the legal problems they encounter, as well as famous directors who have seen their work eviscerated for religious purposes, Cleanflix brings to the core numerous conversational topics, the foremost being - does anyone have the right, no matter how well intentioned, to change the form of the artist?s work?
