Two government film censors stand in the projection room of the Kuwait Ministry of Information movie theater. They are there to oversee the final stages of the editing process, and they will make a careful record of each scene that is cut. After the film has been screened in Kuwait's theaters, the edited scenes will be re-inserted and the film will be sold to a foreign vendor. (Christina Koningisor/GlobalPost)
