Watersheds By Time
This is a list of watershed times in each country, starting with the earliest and ending with the latest. This only includes the last phase of the watershed to start (i.e. in Australia, MA15+ shows are not allowed until 21:00, and AV15+ shows are not allowed until 21:30. The one for AV15+ shows would be the only one included in the table). Similarly, this table only includes the first phase of the watershed to end. Some countries may share the same last phase watershed time, in which case, the conflicting boxes will be sorted by the end time.
Legend
A green box in either the start or end time means its has multiple phases of the respective event.

Famous quotes containing the word time:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
