While rom-com ‘Me Before You’ was only released in Australia today [06/15/16], it’s already receiving a growing amount of backlash. . . .
Activists . . .  argue the film promotes the notion that disabled lives are considered less valuable and that the film romanticises death. . . .

Worldwide Theater Protest: Wheelchair Athlete Ella Frech on "Me Before You"

Ella Frech
ELEVEN YEAR OLD ELLA FRECH HAD A FEW THINGS TO SAY ABOUT "ME BEFORE YOU"

Me Before You comes out tomorrow. I’ve never read the book, but my mom told me about it and I read the reviews online. It’s the story of a guy who gets in an accident, and has a spinal cord injury, and has to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. A guy you think should want to die because he has to live a life that looks like mine.
