Kirk Cameron 'Unstoppable' Trailer: Actor Gets Religious Movie Unblocked From YouTube and Facebook
Former Growing Pains star and devoted Christian, Kirk Cameron claims YouTube and Facebook censored the trailer for his new movie Unstoppable. After rallying on social media the actor was able to get Facebook and then YouTube to unblock the video.
On July 18 the actor wrote on his Facebook page, "Victory!! Friends, you did it! People tried to stop "Unstoppable" on Facebook, and because millions of us joined together as one voice, Facebook has apologized and and welcomed us back! You all just demonstrated to the press (they are all calling me to talk about your amazing response!) that the communities of faith, hope, and love are, well... unstoppable."
Later, after YouTube also took the block off the trailer Cameron wrote, "Thank you!! Fox News, Huffington Post, Entertainment Tonight, ABC, Drudge, and others have heard about your accomplishment and my phone is ringing off the hook to talk with me about how powerful the faith community is to accomplish good things when we put our hearts and minds together. They are listening!!"
Cameron claimed Facebook flagged the video as "abusive, unsafe and spammy" and that YouTube flagged the video for being "spam, scam and deceptive." Cameron claimed he couldn't post the video to YouTube and couldn't post links to it's official website on his Facebook page. Cameron has been working on Unstoppable for a year.
The movie's official website said Unstoppable will be in theaters on Sept. 24 for one night only. Fans can buy exclusive pre-sale tickets off the website.
