According to Variety, the move to offer it for free comes after Wednesday’s attacks on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in which twelve people were killed, including eight journalists.
Vincent Maraval, founder of Wild Bunch, was quoted as saying:
It is the role of cinema to enable the light to shine through terror. We will continue (to fight for the freedom of expression) through films with more passion than ever.
If you are unfamiliar with Four Lions, here is a clip featuring the would-be jihadists singing along to Toploader’s Dancing in the Moonlight.
