Washington: Hollywood classic film Gone with the Wind was on Wednesday taken off HBO Max following calls for it to be removed from the US streaming service, due to racial sensitivities doing the round in the present times.
HBO Max said the 1939 film was “a product of its time” and depicted “ethnic and racial prejudices” that “were wrong then and are wrong today”.
HBO said the film would return to the platform at an unspecified date with a “discussion of its historical context”, the BBC reported.
