In The Life Media, producers of [*In The Life*](http://www.itlmedia.org/?ref=hyperallergic.com), the longest running television show documenting the gay experience, have created [*Censoring Wojnarowicz*](http://www.itlmedia.org/html/episodes/140.html?ref=hyperallergic.com), an exclusive online video exploring the controversy surrounding the removal of David Wojnarowicz’s “A Fire in My Belly” video installation from the National Portrait Gallery’s *Hide/Seek* exhibition.

The web segment takes a look at Wojnarowicz’s anger as he faced death from AIDS and the outrage among conservative lawmakers and religious leaders at the inclusion of his work in the National Portrait Gallery. *Censoring Wojnarowicz* is presented as a follow-up to In The Life Media’s January 2011 *Hidden Histories*, an episode of *In The Life* that covered the opening of *Hide/Seek* and spoke with the artists, historians and curators involved in the show.
