NGO campaigns for anti-abortion movie Africa distribution
The international human rights
non-governmental organization, CitizenGO, is presently crusading for the Africa
release of the anti-abortion movie, Unplanned.
According to its email: “The
successful release of ‘Unplanned’ in the United States overcame all odds,
especially considering the film’s controversial subject matter: abortion. The
movie made over six million dollars at the box office in its first weekend
alone. ‘Unplanned’ is an extraordinarily shocking film. It firmly denounces the
horror of abortion and the huge business that makes money off the practice.
“The movie’s premiere was
preceded by a campaign of harassment against producer Pure Flix, the temporary
blocking of the movie’s official Twitter account, and the systematic avoidance
of advertisements or discussions in the mainstream media. The media largely
refused to promote a film that attacks abortion and its largest provider
worldwide, Planned Parenthood.
“The high quality feature film,
worthy of the best Hollywood films, is about the life of Abby Johnson. Johnson
worked at a branch of a multinational abortionist in Texas (U.S.). She became a
pro-life activist in 2009 after watching an abortion with her own eyes. The
experience was so traumatic that her opinions about abortion took a 180-degree
turn. Since then, she has dedicated her life to fighting Planned Parenthood,
the company she worked for, and to fighting for life in all its phases.
“Since the film was released on
March 29, it has been shown on 1,700 screens in the United States. We can say,
without a doubt, that ‘Unplanned’ has already had the greatest impact and the
largest reach of any pro-life film ever made.
“‘Unplanned’ is set for release
in Canada, but the producers have encountered problems with the theater company
Cineplex. Cineplex recognizes that public interest in the film is very high,
but they consider it too ‘controversial’ to be shown in Canadian cinemas.
“We want to support the producers
of ‘Unplanned’ so that local distributors will be encouraged to bring this
important film to the big screen.
“Sign the above petition now! We
want to show the producers and distributors of ‘Unplanned’ that there is a
demand for this film in Africa. We will meet with the producers to deliver the
signatures. We want to encourage them and support them as they work to show
this film in theaters around the world.
“Can you help us? We can take a
big step towards global awareness about the horrors of abortion thanks to ‘Unplanned.’”
Kind regards.
