A film set during the race riots in New South Wales four years ago has been pulled from cinemas in Sydney after fights broke out during screenings.
The Combination centres on tensions between gangs of Australian Lebanese and white youths in Sydney's western suburbs in 2005.
It was pulled by the Greater Union cinema chains after fighting outside two cinemas.
The Australian Film Syndicate called the move "unprecedented".
Greater Union said it cancelled screenings of the film in all four of its Sydney cinemas after fighting at its cinema in Parramatta on Thursday and Saturday nights.
The Combination, directed by David Field, is set in late 2005, when ugly race riots between white and Lebanese Australians flared at Cronulla Beach.
They sparked a series of retaliatory attacks in which shops, churches and cars were targeted.
The film uses news footage from the riots as it follows the fortunes of a Lebanese Australian man who is trying to guide his younger brother away from ethnic gang violence.
The BBC reports the film can still be seen at other cinema chains in New South Wales and at cinemas in other Australian cities.
