Elton John claims Russian censorship of his biopic

The British musician Elton John and the directors of "Rocketman", a film about his career, criticized a Russian distributor for removing scenes of drug and gay abuse from the film. Russia has a poor track record of LGBT rights and a controversial law bans the promotion of "non-traditional badual relations" with minors. Russian fans of the artist were disappointed with the cuts, recognizing that the LGBT community is still ostracized in the country. Zlatica Hoke reports from VOA.
