The censored film, Fire in My Belly by David Wojnarowicz (1987)
David Wojnarowicz is a painter, photographer, writer, filmmaker, performance artist and activist, who died in 1992 at the age of 37 from AIDS-related complications. He made Fire in My Belly as a poetic meditation on man, life, death, faith, and suffering in part as a response to the AIDS-related death of his close friend, artist Peter Hujar. The film was shown in December 2010 at the Washington Smithsonian Institution/Museum before being banned. Indeed, some conservative politicians judged it was an offense to Christians and exerted pressure on the Smithsonian Institution to removed his artwork.
