Bangladesh Lifts Ban on a Controversial Movie About its Garment Industry

A garment worker's rescue from the rubble of a Bangladeshi factory collapse in 2013 offered a Hollywood ending to one of the world's worst industrial disasters.

But when a local filmmaker decided to make a movie based on the miraculous survival story, a court banned its release in Bangladesh last month on the premise that it could negatively affect the country's labor force.

On Sunday, a panel of four judges had a change of heart and agreed to lift the restriction, according to The Associated Press.
