Why is StudentsFirst so desperate to get people to see Won’t Back Down?
StudentsFirst is desperately trying to get people to see Won’t Back Down, a new movie from the makers ofWaiting for Superman. And it’s no wonder why– the movie is getting trashed by reviewers, and is currently neck-and-neck with Dude, Where’s My Car? on Rotten Tomatoes.
(apologies to the makers of Dude, Where’s My Car?)
StudentsFirst has given out over a thousand tickets to this film, not counting their screenings at the conventions, and their New York branch is currently offering two tickets to anyone that donates $25. What’s driving this desperate promotion? Might it have something to do with StudentsFirst getting funding from Rupert Murdoch, whose company is producing the film? Or the fact that a StudentsFirst board member is a key advisor to Murdoch? One thing is for sure: it’s certainly not their appreciation for great cinema.
