BBC defends Blue Story after Star City riot
The director of Blue Story said the gang film was about "love not violence", after seven police officers were injured in the Star City riot.
Police were called to the giant entertainment complex on Saturday evening following reports of youths with machetes.
Six teenagers were arrested, including a 13-year-old girl. Vue Cinemas - which was screening the film at the complex - confirmed that Blue Story would no longer be showing in any of its 91 outlets in the UK and Ireland. It was also later pulled by Showcase.
Bit of an overreaction here. Great publicity for the movie though.
