This sounds promising
A pro-life film, Bella, is scheduled to open in the USA, perhaps as soon as this Fall. It won the People's Choice award at the Toronto film festival, where it recieved favorable reviews. Hopefully this will be something we can get behind to try and turn the culture in a more positive direction.
Here's part of an article about the movie from a Catholic website:

quote: Catholics urged to support new pro-life film
Washington DC, May 15, 2007 / 11:33 am (CNA).- Catholics must rally to give the pro-life feature film Bella a chance at a good theater run in the United States, says Colin Mason, media director for Population Research Institute.
Mason is urging Catholics across the country to call the film’s producers and tell them how important the film is. He also suggests organizing church groups and youth groups to see the film so that it can get a wider distribution. The film delivers a pro-life message in a way that is appealing to younger people and the general public, it will get wider distribution.
Bella, which is produced by Metanoia Films, tells the story of a young single waitress in New York City who becomes pregnant, loses her job, and struggles with the decision of whether or not to keep her child. In the meantime, she encounters a mysteriously compassionate Latino chef, who has suffered a tragedy in his past, and is perhaps the only person in her life who really cares about her. During the course of the film, a decision is reached that will change both of their lives.
The film won the Toronto’s coveted People’s Choice Award in September 2006. It is currently touring colleges to create interest in a theatrical run.
