Good Grief. Celebrities Throw Support Behind Stillbirth Film

Quote

A British woman who suffered nine miscarriages and a stillbirth has received the backing of 50 celebrities to release a film about her tragic experience.

A-listers ranging from Hollywood actors Al Pacino and Jennifer Aniston to singer Ed Sheeran and and TV personality Simon Cowell have all shown their support for scriptwriter Rebecca Rian's movie Jacob And I.

The stars have taken to social networks to post pictures of themselves holding up a placard reading #JacobAndI in a bid to help raise the £1.3million needed to fund the project.

Rebecca told the Sunday People: 'I think they respect that I'm turning something sad into a positive, which is why they are willing to get behind it.

'Everyone knows someone who has been affected by stillbirths or miscarriages. Even A-listers.'

Why does anyone need to make a film about this, and why do celebrities care? It's a somewhat common occurrence I would think. Common enough that it's not some topic that needs to be made into a film.

I actually don't know anyone who has had a stillbirth or miscarriage, but if this woman thinks that 'everyone' does, why the need for this film?
