Senators want ‘Barbie’ film banned over 9-dash-line scenesThe film, directed by Greta Gerwig, is set to hit Philippine cinemas on July 19. Still, senators were in an uproar over the fantasy film’s depiction of the nine-dash line. Vietnam, also with overlapping claims over the South China Sea, earlier banned the film over the nine-dash line depiction. The film briefly showed a map with China’s nine-dash line next to the Philippines. Instead of banning the film, Hontiveros said there should just be a disclaimer that a particular scene is fictional.
