I think the main reason that they banned it was because in the movie, the heros are trying to save Zion. Although this is of course not the same thing as being Zionists, it is close enough that they felt that allowing the movie to be shown would be in some way a kind of support for the state of isreal. Thats how paranoid they are.
I just don't know why people can't understand the idea movies are just fiction. No one is trying to say that the matrix is real. Hell I just saw "Finding Nemo" and not once during the movie was I under the impression that fish actually talked. good movie though, especially the "mine. mine. mine" parts.
Ask your boss if its ok. If you don't want to ask them then you already know that they don't want you to do it. Remeber that although you might have the right (depending on your employment contract etc...) your bosses goals for you probably do not include helping with the open source movement.
