Morocco has lifted its ban on screening Hollywood biblical epic "Exodus: Gods and Kings" on the life of Moses but with part of the soundtrack silenced, its film watchdog announced. Rabat last month banned director Ridley Scott's film on the grounds that it contained a scene "representing God", which is forbidden under Islam. The state-run Morocco Cinema Centre said the film would now hit theatres in the North African country from Wednesday after "several changes" to the original version. Mounia Layadi Benkirane, the film's distributor in Morocco said around five seconds of the movie was being silenced.
