Abstract:	This chapter explores an ethical dilemma encountered in the use of film as a vehicle for creative expression and transnational/transcultural communication in a global youth education and research project. Global StoryBridges connects young people from different sites who create and share digital stories. The research presented was conducted at the site in Catalonia, although it implicates young people and project facilitators at a site in Uganda. We conduct a transmodal analysis of a particular video production by the Catalan youth which was deemed to be too controversial to be shared with the Ugandan partners. We consider both the semiotic assemblage of the film and ethnographic data collected during the video production process and after the film had been removed from circulation. The research insight into how semiosis travels across people and places, and into the new meanings that come about in the transnational/transcultural flow of communicative resources. We also critically reflect on ethical arguments for sharing or removing the young people's creative production from circulation from the lens of critical cosmopolitanism, as a model of 21st century global citizenship.
