American Drama: Cineplex Theatres

american drama: The American drama, based on the true story of a Planned Parenthood clinic director in Texas who becomes an anti-abortion speaker, will screen in 14 Cineplex theatres in Canada for a week beginning Friday, according to CTV. It will also screen in 10 Landmark Cinemas as well as some independent theatres in Canada, after a U.S. release that stirred up intense debate on both sides of the issue. Ellis Jacob, president and CEO of Cineplex, has released a statement that follows up comments the company made last week to The Canadian Press about the film's release. Jacob says showing controversial films on the big screen is not new to him, Cineplex or the industry as a whole, and he's confident the company made the right decision. When I immigrated to Canada back in 1969, one of the things that I loved, and still love, the most about living here was that we didn't shy away from our differences -- we embrace them, Jacob, who was born in India, said in the statement issued Monday. He adds it's important to remember that Canada is a country that values freedom of expression, and that audiences can decide whether or not they want to see the film. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
