'Gone With the Wind' back on HBO Max but with disclaimer

'Gone With The Wind' will be returning to HBO Max with some additional content.

"HBO Max will bring 'Gone with The Wind' back to its line-up, and when it appears, I will provide an introduction placing the film in its multiple historical contexts," she wrote. "For me, this is an opportunity to think about what classic films can teach us. Right now, people are turning to movies for racial re-education, and the top-selling books on Amazon are about anti-racism and racial inequality." 
 
"If people are really doing their homework, we may be poised to have our most informed, honest, and productive national conversations yet about Black lives on screen and off," Stweart concluded. 
 
When the movie was pulled down, HBO Max had added that they would be re-adding the classic at a later date. The date of its return has still not been specified.

It had eight Oscars -- including Hattie McDaniel's historic win, who was the first Black actress the win an Oscar.
