Blue Story to return to Vue cinemas after criticism of withdrawal
Company’s chief executive says ‘racism does not enter into the equation’
Blue Story will return to screens following a backlash about it being pulled, the chief of Vue cinemas has announced, as he insisted race was never part of the equation.
The film – a story of two childhood friends who get caught up in gangs from rival postcodes – was withdrawn by the cinema chain after seven police officers were injured in a disturbance at Star City in Birmingham on Saturday, where there were reports of youths with machetes.
