There's Gal Gadot, Death On The Nile Film Banned In 2 Countries

JAKARTA - The film Death on the Nile is again facing a new challenge after having difficulty finding the right release date. This time, the Kenneth Branagh-directed film was banned in several countries.

According to Deadline, Death on the Nile will not be broadcast in Lebanon and Kuwait. This is due to the presence of Gal Gadot who is an Israeli-blooded actress as the main character.

Gal Gadot who supports the Israeli military is the reason why the film was not shown in 2 countries. In May 2021, Gal Gadot voiced support for Israel over the conflict with Hamas.

Previously, Lebanon also banned the release of the Wonder Woman film from showing in their country for the same reason.

This is the latest conflict facing Death on the Nile along with a series of other controversies. Not a few highlighted the Armie Hammer conflict and cannibalism and Letitia Wright who refused the COVID-19 vaccine.

Death on the Nile is a film adaptation of the novel by Agatha Christie. The film, produced by 20th Century Studios, tells the love story of a poor man named Simon Doyle with a rich woman named Jacqueline de Bellefort.

Simon Doyle was then introduced to a friend named Linnet Ridgeway. It turns out that Doyle fell in love with Ridgeway and made their trip a disaster and a murder. Currently, Death on the Nile can be seen in Indonesian cinemas.
