Release Justin Baldoni's Director's Cut of "It Ends with Us"

The Issue

As someone deeply and personally impacted by domestic violence, the portrayal of this issue in media is incredibly important to me. The controversy surrounding the "It Ends With Us" movie has unfortunately overshadowed the crucial subject matter it was intended to address. Rather than raising much-needed awareness about domestic violence, the marketing tactics used have led to a global misunderstanding of the movie's genre and message.

Justin Baldoni, the director who obtained the rights to this potentially impactful movie, has inexplicably been left out of the promotional material. His involvement in the film is not just a nominal position but rather a key ingredient in ensuring its intended message isn't lost. A director's role goes beyond the creation of visuals; they shape the narrative and determine how to communicate the central themes to the audience effectively.

A prominent representative of realism in filmmaking, Justin Baldoni, has been side-lined, and his director's cut has not seen the light of day. This version of the movie could provide a more accurate and powerful portrayal of the issues at stake, without being mislabeled or misunderstood. We believe that releasing the director's cut will restore the film's integrity and the dignity of its subject matter.

We call upon the producers to rectify this situation by releasing Justin Baldoni's director's cut of "It Ends with Us." This is not just about an artistic vision; it's about ensuring an accurate and respectful representation of a deeply sensitive issue affecting many lives worldwide. Let's not diminish the severity of domestic violence. Please sign this petition to show your support for the release of Justin Baldoni's director's cut.
