They added that HBO plans for the film to return in a way that references its historical context.
The debate surrounding Gone with the Wind and allegations of racism have resurfaced in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests, as HBO Max temporarily removed the film from its platform on Wednesday (10 June).
Gone with the Wind has been accused of whitewashing slavery and even romanticising the treatment of black people in the south through racist archetypes.
One of the biggest criticisms made against Gone With The Wind is its attempt to rewrite history in reference to the Civil War and its causes.
