You've probably signed so many online petitions already – but this one is quite unique.
We think we've got all it takes to get I AM BREATHING into more cinemas – an acclaimed film, festival laurels, dozens of 4 and 5-star reviews, multiple-page coverage in newspapers, TV and radio – and we have yet to meet an audience member who wasn't profoundly moved by the film they had seen. And so many people have been asking us where they can see the film!
We've just proven our impact in many one-off events around our Global Screening Day. The first cinemas are now committing to doing longer runs, showing the film for three to seven days.
Yet some cinema programmers still think, "who wants to go and see a film about someone dying?" So we need to tell them it's a film about life, it's a film for everyone.
Like Dominic Lawson wrote in The Independent, it's about "a dying man who reminds us just what life is for".
And we need you to stand up and say:
"I really want to see I AM BREATHING in our local cinema, and I will do my best to help fill the screening and bring many other people with me."
Like this to spread the word – but make sure you've signed above as well.

I drove 2 hours to view this screening in Sebastopol, CA , USA. There were approximately 30 ppl and approx. 3 people had some form of ALS. Could you imagine what the attendance would be if it were shown in San Francisco and San Jose, CA?? My husband passed away from ALS August 30, 2012. This movie was very moving for me and I would see it again . I could easily bring 10 people with me. Theaters? Maybe Retrodome in San Jose? I’ll do some research and send you an e-mail.

Cinema city is a smaller cinema in norwich, not a big chain like vue or odeon, I think they would be interested for sure.
