Kuwait’s Ministry of Information’s cinematic censorship committee has barred ‘Barbie’ movie viewing, following the ban on the horror film ‘Talk to Me.’
Moreover, Kuwait eagerly anticipates the arrival of Ramy Sabry and Ahmed Saad this September, exciting news for the audience.
Lafy Al Subei’e, the Undersecretary of the Ministry for Press and Publication, expressed that the decision prioritizes safeguarding public morals and traditional values.

Underlining their incompatibility with Kuwaiti society and order, the Undersecretary noted that ‘Barbie’ and ‘Talk to Me’ disseminate ideologies contrary to local beliefs.
Typically, the censorship committee edits scenes contravening public values. However, films endorsing ideas against local ethics warrant screening prohibition.
