The country’s opposition to Night of the Living Dead recently came to light in Netflix’s 2019 Environmental Social Governance report, the first-ever document disclosing the company’s “environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.” As first reported by Axios, the document includes a list of nine films the company removed from streaming services in various countries between 2015 and Feb. 2020. Among them is Night of the Living Dead, with the document stating, “In 2017, we complied with a written demand from the German Commission for Youth Protection (KJM) to remove Night of the Living Dead from the service in Germany only. A version of the film is banned in the country.”
