"I'm asking for help in getting the film "Return to Zero" out into theaters. It's central theme is stillbirth, a cause that's close to my heart. My daughter Emily was stillborn in January, 2010. She died one day after her due date, from a cord accident. Emily had danced and wiggled so much in the womb, her feet became tangled in the umbilical cord. It was locked so tightly around her ankles, it cut off her blood and oxygen supply. It was a terribly tragic event that has changed me and my family forever, and is much more common than the average person realizes or likes to believe. 1 in 130 babies are stillborn (pass away after 20 weeks gestation). Not all, but some of these deaths could be prevented, if only people were more aware of warning signs. That is one of the main reasons why it is so important to break the silence, and make talking about stillbirth less taboo than it is right now in society.
What I'm asking you to do is pledge ASAP. Pledging is FREE, and your pledge says that you support the movie, and would consider seeing it when it is released. It takes less than 30 seconds to put down your name, email, location, and local leader (put my name in that section please!). Also, please share this event with your friends and family, invite them to this event, or share about the movie pledge on your page. It's important to do this as soon as you can - the director of the movie has a meeting with Hollywood on Thursday, and another in a few weeks. He needs tons of pledges by then to prove to the powers that be that there is an audience for this movie. We know there is!"
