As Downtown Eastside women on the 15th Annual Womens Memorial March Planning Committee, we are writing to voice our objection to the film, Killer Pickton. We strongly urge that it not be distributed in Canada.
This film serves only to feed the prurient interests of misogynists, while making violence against women a commodity. We feel the film is disrespectful to the memories of the murdered and missing women and their families. We are tired of the women being referred to as "mostly drug-addicted prostitutes" as if killing them were not as heinous as killing other women. The film and the publicity surrounding it, shows a total disregard for the humanity of the women. They are daughters, sisters, mothers and friends who are loved and who are missed by their families and friends.
We hope that you will show your compassion and sense of decency by pledging to boycott the film if it is distributed in Canada and below by March 1st, 2006. On March 8th, 2006, International Womens Day, this petition and signatures will be sent to those listed above.

Such a film can only appeal to the base instincts of the primitive mind that allowed such horrible events to occur.
