Mature content: The local council has had words with the school
A school has become embroiled in a nude film storm after young children were exposed to full-frontal nudity featured in an adult film.
Parents of children at Penweddig High School in Aberystwyth, west Wales, were left furious when their children came home from school in tears.
The classroom of 11-year-old children were shown the 15-rated historical slavery film Amistad during a religious education lesson.
The Steven Spielberg film features full-frontal nudity and brutal violence.
One parent of a Year 8 pupil said: "My son came home one day saying that the class had been shown Amistad.
"He described how the film clearly showed whipping, full frontal nudity and violence.
"Apparently a number of girls in the class were distressed and crying.

"Speaking to my son and other parents it became apparent that pupils were often shown films that I would regard as unsuitable."
A Ceredigion council spokesman said its education officers had spoken with the school about showing age-appropriate films.
