Default Canadian government reverses course, orders movie "Iranium" be shown amid Iranian threats.

Heritage Minister James Moore has instructed Library and Archives Canada to reschedule a screening of a controversial film on Iran that was cancelled Tuesday after complaints and threats.

Moore said a new time and date would be announced soon and sent a note on the social messaging service Twitter saying "The show will go on."

The national library cancelled the screening of Iranium, a film critical of Iran's leadership and nuclear program, after a spokesperson said it had received complaints and threats from Iran's Embassy in Ottawa.
