Because I personally was touched by this topic, and sadly know many others who were as well, I think it is a worthy endeavor to spread the word.
Become a Local Leader for "Return To Zero"! As you all know, RETURN TO ZERO is the first film ever created with stillbirth as its central theme. We have an amazing cast (MINNIE DRIVER, PAUL ADELSTEIN, ALFRED MOLINA, CONNIE NIELSEN and KATHY BAKER) and have created a beautiful and touching film that will change how people view stillbirth and the effect it has on parents, relationships, families, and communities. Now we need this film to reach the largest audience possible--which is why we are asking for your help again! By becoming a LOCAL LEADER you will help to spread the word about the film through social media, e-mail and putting a few notices up in coffee shops or wherever you go on a weekly basis before the film opens. We're out to prove to Hollywood that there is an audience for RETURN TO ZERO and get as many people to pledge to see the film the first weekend that it is in theaters! We can do this together. We can finally SHATTER THE SILENCE ONCE AND FOR ALL! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jQsys3eU7ZndUgbdMvcDiqrgQPmREFRmb_1kvl0YhWw/viewform?pli=1 |

Before I start, let me say I have no experience first-hand with still birth, nor do any of my immediate family members or very close friends.
But I do have a few friends who have experience with this, and I feel safe in saying that they wouldn't be front-and-center at a movie like this. They certainly have feelings and thoughts and grief, and I'm sure they'd support more support for the issue, but I just don't see them being gung-ho activist-y about it. Not that you can't be, OP, but I don't think it's everyone's flavor. Know what I mean? |

| Why on earth would anyone want to watch such a movie? I imagine it would haunt you. While I sympathize with the OP, I feel like the vast majority of people likely can imagine how tragic stillbirth must be. Just awful. |

These replies are so odd to me?? Has anyone ever heard of Sophie's Choice or Terms of Endearment? Very sad and gut-wrenching subject matter- but two of the most critically acclaimed films of all-time. A depressing topic alone does not make me shy away from a film. |

| No way would I see that movie in a theater. Can anyone say Aurora 2.0? |

+1. But apologies to OP; I intend to see the film, but am not prepared to join her quest. At least she got a viewer, though not a crusader. |

As in the movie theatre shooting? I don't get the connection...? |

| It's the perfect movie for some crazy to go shoot up because it is already so tragic. |

Was that Batman movie tragic/sad in any way? I think the correlation is quite a stretch to say the least. |

Trust me, the vast majority can NOT imagine how tragic this is, thankfully. |

| With all due respect, PP, gimme a break. No one takes this lightly. Everyone realizes that losing a child is tragic. It would be torture watching a movie like this when you know how it ends. I'm getting upset just thinking about it. I can't imagine any woman wanting to watch something like this..just too heart wrenching. |

I am surprised that so many of you would not see such a movie. I feel almost an obligation to deal with difficult subject matter...well I do it for a living, but I try to help others when I can and if I can't handle a topic then what would I do if this happened to a friend?
