Please Support the Pro-Life Movie "Bella"
Not too often does the mass media put out material that stands up for the truth, so when it does, devout Christians everywhere must seize the opportunity to promote it. The movie "Bella" is one of these opportunities. "Bella" is set to be one of the most impressive pro-life movies ever made. It has won numerous awards and is being promoted by pro-life groups such as Heartbeat International, "Celebrate Life" magazine, and others. This movie is said to transcend all expectations.
The movie stars the Mexican acting sensation Eduardo Verastegui, who has a wonderful conversion story. At 17 he left his home village of Xicotencatl, Tamaulipas for Mexico City to become a lawyer. While he was in the big city he got involved in modeling and eventually acting. He started to live the typical celebrity life with the desire for more wealth, women, fame, and power. But of course, he wasn't happy. He was setting his sites on Hollywood, when his English teacher started asking him questions that led to his conversion. After discerning that the priesthood was not his vocation, he continued his acting career in Los Angeles, and providence has allowed him to meet the right people for "Bella" to be made.
In the movie, a single waitress played by Tammy Blanchard finds out right before going to work that she's pregnant. Then, at work, she gets another shock and it looks like her life is falling apart. Suddenly, the chef of the restaurant, played by Eduardo Verastegui comes to her rescue and the adventure begins. After having worked for him day in and day out, she finds out who this man really is.
"Bella" has opened in Texas and is scheduled for national release September 15th. Please help promote this film. To have it come to a theater near you, see www.BellaTheMovie.com, e-mail contact@MetanoiaFilms.com and call 888-474-6025.
God bless,
Daniel

Could you let me know if there has been any endorsment of promotion of the movie Bella by any dioceses or bishops?

Molly,
To my knowledge, there has not been any endorsment of "Bella" by any diocese or bishops. I guess this one falls on the laity!
