They blocked our pro-life movie!

czir.org 2 months ago

I'm free. I'm a pro-life

This is the title we gave to the movie by Dr. Baber Aondo-Akaa, which I wrote about a fewer days ago, which we had the honour of co-production.

But we were incorrect about the title. It should read:

I'm a pro-life. I'm excluded.

The premiere I was writing about was to take place in 1 of Warsaw's Multikines – everything was set, the invoice was paid.

And yet... there has been an intervention from above.

Yesterday, we received an email from refusing to rent a area for the premiere of this film!

The substance that I am about to describe to you in item is, in my opinion, an absolute scandal.

Not only due to the fact that it is one more time erstwhile institutions or individuals openly declaring pro-life views are being pushed out of public space. But besides due to the way we were treated.

We've been working out the details for a long time.

From the very beginning, we informed the cinema that the movie we want to show is about pro-life.

We paid the invoice!

But in the end, the full event was cancelled.

And I can say without a shadow of a uncertainty that The reason is the subject of the movie – Multikino admits itself.

The case is so clear: I want the pro-life broadcast out of public space!

About the movie “I Am Free. I am a pro-life” directed by Dr. Bavaria Aondo-Akaa I have written you a small more recently. He tries to answer 1 of the key questions we face present as a pro-life movement: how to make life defence something understandable and appealing to the young generation.

The movie was created thanks to the cooperation of the Centre of Life and Family, the Ordo Iuris Institute and the Fr Piotr Skarga Christian Culture Association.

The movie premiere of the paper was planned as part of the “Time for Love” initiative preceding this year’s National March of Life – a series of various events, including conferences, workshops or Masses addressed to everyone, who are close to matters concerning the protection of life, but besides who want to deepen household relations.

The screening was scheduled to take place on Friday 17 April in the Warsaw Multikina City Reduta.

I know we've already invited you to this event! We did it due to the fact that we got an assurance in the email from the cinema that everything is worked out and that we can do it!

Meanwhile, it turns out that the Prime Minister is under a large question mark.

I must admit, this is incomprehensible to me. And it's not due to the fact that we couldn't anticipate any difficulty. We frequently met with them at various events.

This time, however, cooperation with Multikin went very well.

We made an email contact with a typical of the network on March 17.

And already in the first email we clearly indicated that the planned event concerns the projection of the pro-life film.

We didn't want to deceive anyone or hide anything. We've made this very clear all along.

And yet, while a fewer another cinemas previously refused to organize the premiere, justifying the deficiency of deadlines or logistics capabilities, Multikina typical immediately offered us a area and free dates!

In the next fewer days We exchanged respective e-mails, adding details, asking about the anticipation of renting additional equipment and specifying the plan of the event.

Since we do not have a past of cooperation with Multikin, we have been told that according to the procedures the payment will be made in advance of 100% on the basis of the proform invoice. We agreed to these conditions.

Correspondence with the typical of the cinema network went very well, efficiently and openly.

Until yesterday afternoon we received an e-mail... with a refusal!

I'm truly sorry about the situation, but...as Multikino we must stay apolitical – wrote Multikina representative.

What a curiosity!

The movie “I am free. I am a pro-life” does not treat stricte about politics, but is an image of social movement. Although the movie shows the president and Vice president of the United States, in order to dispel doubt, the creators of this production clearly communicate that emphasizing the U.S. government's merit for defending the lives of conceived children does not mean that they accept the full policy of the United States administration.

But... in January there was a movie "Melania" in Multikina that shows the scenes of Mrs Trump's return to the White home in the days before the 2025 presidential inauguration. Was there no problem with apoliticalism in this production?

Word The key is Cancel culture– the phenomenon of exclusion (in this case) of right-wing and conservative content, the elimination from public space of people who argue the left-wing imagination of the world.

Bo Multikino has no problem showing a movie like Queer, which tells about the homosexual relation of 2 men with drug abuse in the background.

I realize that the issue of protecting life is not an easy social subject and the destiny of unborn children is utilized in a dirty media-political game. But the same is actual of LGBT!

So, if a deficiency of apoliticalism is accused of a movie treating the improvement of the pro-life movement, why is there no akin question about the image showing the affair of 2 men?

In the light of these circumstances, The decision of Multikina is hard for me to treat differently than a manifestation just Cancel cultureOh, my God!, i.e. the form of boycott of persons or institutions that break the accepted "only right" social narrative.

The victim Cancel culture net creators, writers, journalists, and even scientists who dared to question, for example, the dogma of transideology, were already falling. To stay persona non grata Sometimes it is adequate to make 1 “incorrect” statement.

And so it happened to us!

However, I would like to stress: In this situation, we are not going to give up, we are going to request a contract.

We're not going to let you jam your voice so easy in defence of life!

Our lawyers have already prepared a consequence to Multikin's actions: erstwhile I compose this message to you, we are waiting for movement from their side.

The refusal to cooperate, and it is expressed in specified circumstances, so close to the date of the planned event (in addition to the holidays that will inevitably besides hinder our ability to act), is simply a practice that we cannot accept!

We have already incurred the costs of preparing for this event: the cost of our colleague's work, which has spent respective twelve hours to complete everything, the cost of the work of graphic designers, and yet the cost of printing posters.

And the image costs? I already invited you to the screening in the erstwhile email!

And now we're gonna gotta pay for the lawyers' work.

I so urgently ask you to support further action on the organisation of the cinema premiere of the movie "I am free. I am a pro-life!’

Let me stress again: we have been honest about the subject of the movie since the beginning, so we cannot be accused of trying to hide the nature of the event. We specifically asked if the arrangements were certain and we can already inform our Sympaths about the planned premiere. Finally, we received the invoice and paid for it!

So we do not agree to specified open violations of agreements and agreements in the name of false apoliticalism, read ideology!

Today it is us, next day it may be any entrepreneur or even an worker who will support the protection of the lives of unborn children.

This situation clearly shows that the pro-life message in public space is uncomfortable. Those who cooperate with us are aware that they exposure themselves to protests by feminists and leftist activists.

It's just social censorship!

Talking about the dignity of life from conception or about the value of the household ceases to be treated as an equal voice in discussion today.

But I'm going to say perversely: it's hard to blame.

After all, our actions are disrupting a carefully sedated message based on a slogan specified as "my body, my business."

Today, the social dictatorship on the life of unborn children is handed over to abortionists of the sign “Abortion is ok!”!

And for those like us who remind us that abortion is simply a execution on the most innocent beings, there is social exclusion!

Why?

Because all the lobbyists of lightning fighting us are afraid that thanks to us, individual could see into their eyes!

To see them manipulate and deceive the full society. As they tell women abortion is just a simple procedure that leaves no consequences. That under their hearts the kid is not developing, but “cell clump”. That the demolition of this fresh life will bring them relief and freedom!

What we're experiencing is just another manifestation of cultural warfare.

And we don't lay down guns.

I am asking you to support me in this situation!
