What happens

Damned in the USA é um documentário britânico de 1991 dirigido por Paul Yule sobre a censura na América. Nos Estados Unidos, o financiamento do governo para as artes nunca foi popular entre os membros mais conservadores do Congresso, e aos populistas tem um odor desagradável de elitismo. O filme cobre o julgamento de um diretor do museu de Cincinnati pela exibição de fotos de Robert Mapplethorpe, e debates sobre o financiamento do National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
