Cover Your Ears plot

Freedom of expression is a human right recognized by the United Nations and is one of the most important pillars of a democratic community. But what if that expression does not match the personal ideologies of the general public? From poignant protest songs to light-hearted 'Top 40' hits, music has always defined our culture. With such a powerful influence on all aspects of society, the messages and themes that musicians convey have long been considered dangerous by some. This documentary looks at how the censorship of music has shaped not only how people view art and how it is made, but also who we are as consumers and freethinkers.
