The makers of the Sandy Hook shooting documentary Newtown have joined a boycott of the cinema chain Cinemark over the latter’s treatment of the victims of the 2012 Aurora shootings.
We thank the Newtown filmmakers and love our Sandy Hook family.”
Sandy Phillips, whose daughter Jessica Ghawi was killed in Aurora, said she appreciated the Newton film-makers’ actions.
Calls for a boycott arose, with the hashtag #BoycottCinemark, after the legal action failed and the company was permitted by Colorado law to recover fees from the plaintiffs.
