Minnesota Family Council Update Note Change in Opening Date: Pro-Life Film Bella to open in Minneapolis on November 2nd, a week earlier than previously announced!   October 29, 2007 One person can change your life forever,  and possibly one movie... This is the subtitle of a beautiful and touching new film called Bella that’s set for release on October 26th. An emotional tale of self-discovery, Bella is the story of two people whose lives change forever when they find that it sometimes takes losing it all to finally appreciate the things that truly matter. With its pro-life, pro-humanity message, Bella has been largely spurned by Hollywood. Despite this, Bella won the Toronto Film Festival’s People’s Choice Award (traditionally a bellwether indicator for Academy Award success). The Toronto Film Festival is the largest international film competition in the world. This pro-life film has already touched many lives. In fact, a number of pregnant women considering abortion decided to give love and life a chance after seeing this powerful film. Bella will open to very limited distribution in 31 markets on the weekends of October 26th, November 2nd and November 9th. Broader distribution opportunities will be based on the success of the screenings during the first two weekends. Bella needs your assistance to mobilize your companies, churches, friends and families to buy tickets and fill the theaters. To find out more about what you can do to help spread Bella’s message of hope, please visit www.BellatheMovie.com.  Bella is scheduled to open in Minneapolis November 2nd.  We want to encourage attendance as this will send a strong message to the theaters and to filmmakers that embracing the sanctity of life and the family is good for business and ensure that many more people will be exposed to the powerful, lifechanging message of this film.
