BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Protesters have interrupted a screening of a French AIDS drama in Bucharest, saying it violates traditional Romanian values. Footage posted on social media shows a handful of protesters who called themselves Christian Orthodox bursting into a movie theater at the Romanian Peasant Museum Sunday evening during a showing of "120 Beats Per Minute." Protesters sang the national anthem and religious songs while others held religious icons and banners saying: "Romania isn't Sodom" and "Hey Soros, leave them kids alone," referring to Hungarian-American philanthropist George Soros. The film, set in Paris in the 1990s, explores homosexuality and the AIDS epidemic.
