12 years slave poster backlash

12 years slave poster backlash [PHOTO\VIDEO], In one of the oddest controversies of this month in film, an Italian theater decided to display an updated version of a 12 Years a Slave promotional poster with Brad Pitt as the main focus.

Being that the Steve McQueen film is about slavery and not the white man featured so prominently on the poster, this has incited international backlash.

This is all thanks to a Tumblr user who posted a picture of the display on his account.
