The following mention appeared in the
May 1999 edition of the
NW Screenwriter's Newsletter (thanks to
simahoyo for the info).
Warrior Princess...Censored
Studios USA pulled the Xena: Warrior
Princess episode, 'The Way' from
worldwide distribution and forced
producer Rob Tapert to issue a public
apology following a wave of protests
from Hindu organizations alleging
disrespect of Hindu deities. 'This is
not about a TV show, it is about
censorship,' according to free-speech
advocate Linde Knighton. There's more
info and a petition online at:
