BBFC and Michael Moore

The British board of film classification is an independent non governmental body funded through fees it charges to those who submit films and video works (such as documentaries) for classification.
The BBFC would rate our documentary at PG. As it does bot contain any drugs or sexual references, there are no horror or nudity clips. There is no violence and no bad language. However the documentary would not be rated at a U as the content of the documentary could also be considered to have imitable behaviours but our documentary justifies itself as it is explaining a point and does not touch on any serious issues such as domestic violence.
