Recently a slanderous petition was launched on Change.org, requesting that Kino Cinema does not go ahead with its planned run of the new documentary from film maker, Cassie Jaye. This documentary, The Red Pill, chronicles Cassie Jaye's exploration of the Men's Rights Movement.

The film was created in spite of massive funding issues, including a lack of willing producers and, when the project was taken to kickstarter due to this lack of traditional funding, an attempt from feminist organisations to prevent the film reaching it's goal. Despite these issues, the kickstarter was hugely successful, making more than double the original goal.

the petition, requesting that Kino Cinema does not show this documentary, is full of lies and half truths. to list but a few

"Film-maker Cassie Jaye follows members of online hate-group ‘The Red Pill,’ known to most as the sexist cesspit of the internet. " "Paul Elam, is a pro-rape racist who in 2010 wrote: “Should I be called to sit on a jury for a rape trial, I vow publicly to vote not guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that the charges are true.”" "earlier this year, Peter Dutton refused a visa to “red-pilled” Daryush "Roosh" Valizadeh, " "the kind of people who teach men how to violate women physically and emotionally. "

There is no "red pill" movement, the red pill as a loose amalgamation of groups that have little in common other than a dislike for modern feminism. This documentary follows the men's rights movement, a human rights movement fighting for equal rights for men in areas such as sexual assault laws and child custody after divorce.

Paul Elam is well known for writing satirical pieces that are intentionally misconstrued as his literal opinion. The article in question is decrying the lowering standards of rape trials when it comes to the accused receiving a fair trial.

While Roosh V was denied a visa, this is irrelevant to the men's rights movement or this film. Roosh V is a Pick Up Artist who has both disavowed the men's rights movement, and has been disavowed by the men's rights movement.

No one in the men's rights movement advocate for non defensive violence against women.

We the undersigned call on Palace Cinemas to go ahead with the planned two week run of The Red Pill, in the spirit of free speech, open dialogue and a diverse marketplace of ideas.
