Religious Group Campaigns To Ban Fanning Film

A Us religious group is demanding a global ban of controversial new movie Hounddog, insisting it "celebrates" paedophilia.

The film has sparked outrage following its premiere at Utah's Sundance Film Festival on Monday (22Jan07), because it features a graphic rape scene involving 12-year-old actress Dakota Fanning.

Now the Catholic League For Religious And Civil Rights has organised a petition to have the film banned.

Bill Donohoe, the organisation's director, says, "How can we celebrate paedophilia in this so-called artistic way?

"Five or six years ago this girl was on a tricycle. There has to be some line of decency which Hollywood will not cross."
