Bring Back "Archie's Final Project"


Bring Back "Archie's Final Project"
The Issue
On behalf of the fans of "Archie's Final Project," I encourage you to consider the request to bring this movie back to Netflix. I understand that this movie was removed recently due to the fact that it did not reach a large enough audience, however, those people that it did reach have found that it has had a tremendous impact on themselves, and agree that it is a film worthy of attention.
This film is not the exaggerated, high-school drama people typically associate with films geared towards teenagers. This film is so much more real and straightforward. It's about life, death, existentialism, and getting by in the modern world. This film has saved lives: After attending an early screening, a Miami teen sparked the IAmAnArchie social media campaign by creating a video announcing that he was an "Archie." The campaign has helped to promote awareness and prevention of teen suicide. Teens who feel that they can relate to the main character are connected through shared feelings and experiences.
Although geared mainly towards youth, this film is something that everyone, parents, teachers, and kids alike, should see. Not only does it have a great message, but Gabriel Sunday's outstanding performance and the creative editing approach make it visually engaging as well. It's both tragic and comedic. It has won awards at various film festivals, including the 2009 Berlin Film Festival's Crystal Bear for Best Picture. Several people have mentioned in their reviews that this movie deserves more attention.
In conclusion, leaving "Archie's Final Project" off Netflix ensures that it will never reach the audience it warrants, and so many people who need to know that they are not alone will have lost the opportunity to see this life-changing film. Please consider bringing it back.
