A plea to boycott the film glorifying the man charged with the murders of 27 women in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

A copy  of this petition with over 1200 signatures was sent to the L.A. Times, The Shadow Factory Inc. and others on March 6, 2006.
  Please add your voice to the first 1200 by signing the petition.

As Downtown
Eastside women on the 15th Annual Women’s Memorial March Planning
Committee, we are writing to voice our objection to the film, “Killer
Pickton.” We strongly urge that it not
be distributed in Canada and
are sending letters of objection to various media and film distributors,
including Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation, Telefilm Canada, and
Cineplex.



This film
serves only to feed the prurient interests of misogynists, while making
violence against women a commodity. We
feel the film is disrespectful to the memories of the murdered and missing
women and their families. It shows a
total disregard for the humanity of the women.
They are daughters, sisters, mothers and friends who are loved and who
are missed by their families and friends.



In
closing, we hope that your readers and customers will show their compassion and
sense of decency by boycotting the film wherever it is distributed, whether in Canada or
elsewhere.



Sincerely,



Dr. Victoria Marie, o.s.c.,



15th Annual Women's Memorial March
Planning Committee
