Cannes: “And the Golden Palm goes to…”
Photo: A real aborted child, - not a still from the film.
Strange as it may sound, the Palme d’Or went to a Romanian film graphically illustrating the horrors of a mid-term abortion in that Communist block country, shortly before the fall of Communism. Cannes audiences were shocked at the realism of viewing the remains of an aborted child, while the film maker, Cristian Mungin explained that he put the aborted foetus on screen to serve as a reminder to audiences. “It makes a point — people should be aware of the consequences of their decisions,” he said. The film is entitled, “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” which was the age of the child when aborted.
Wow! The entertainment elite sat through something so gruesome, and awarded the film with Cannes’ highest honor. Could it be that the world will finally come to its senses and realize abortion for the crime of murder that it is? All because of a film maker who had the courage to show what an aborted child looks like?
We can only hope. Go here for the entire story - things like this just don’t “happen” in the movie industry.
As I’ve always said, people have to see what an abortion actually is, in order to understand and believe that it is a human being destroyed, not simply tissue. (Do you suppose the film will be banned in the United States?)

Who is the mother? is it the ‘timid student’, or is she merely an actress playing a role in this ‘movie’?
I am not sure that I understand this very well. I read the page you linked to , and I still don’t understand. Please tell me that this baby was not aborted ‘for’ the film.
I know I probably sound a bit dimwitted at this point, but perhaps you could help me to understand a little more.
thank you.

ukok, The film is a drama and my understanding is that everyone in it are actors. The photo I used is not from the film, but is a real photo of an aborted child. My apologies for not making this clear.

Abortion will END once voters REFUSE to elect PRO-CHOICE politians. And when the Catholic Church totally REFUSE to give PRO-CHOICE(DEATH)politicians the Eucharist..is that ever going to happen? We’ll have to wait and see.
Yours in Christ,

It makes you wonder just how long God can let us go on like this.

Terry, here’s a link to a video we put together of “Youth for Truth” a group from Aurora, Illinois, trying to keep the largest Planned Parenthood site from opening (in mid-Sept.). Please take a look and you are more than welcome to embed. There are two versions … original and radical … I’m just guessing, but I think you’d like the radical one … so that’s the link I left.
