Say "No" to Columbine Movie
We ask for basic human respect be shown to a community that does not want to be exploited over a sensitive, and persistently prodded event.
Why is this important?
The Network "Lifetime" is planning on Making a miniseries about the April 20th 1999 shooting in Littleton Co.
There is no mention of any proceeds being directed at programs that address school violence. There has been no indication that people were actually consulted from the community. There is no indication that anyone has been contacted for likeness rights.
How the network has gone about making this movie is questionable, which begs the question, "How tasteful is this movie going to be? WIll it be historically accurate or just a gore-fest?" "How distorted are they going to make the film to sell ad space?"
