The state of West Bengal in India has banned the screening of the Indian film "The Story of Kerala" because of the violence that may accompany its screening and to preserve community peace. The film follows the story of 3 women from Kerala who converted to Islam and joined the Islamic State.
The filmmakers said it was based on true stories and was produced after years of research, while critics said the film's story lacked statistical evidence. The controversy has shifted from cinema to politics in Kerala, with the congressional leader calling the "Kerala story" a "clear case of misinformation"
