Suicide prevention groups and other mental health advocates, including National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Mental Health America and the Suicide Prevention Action Network USA are protesting against a series of ads to be used for this movie .
"The images will depict people jumping off a bridge, electrocuting and hanging themselves. The acclaimed film follows a group of people that have committed suicide (including stars Patrick Fugit and Shannyn Sossamon) as they take a road trip through purgatory.
"You don't see people making fun of other causes of death, but you see it with suicide and mental illness," Robert Gebbia, executive director of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), wrote in a letter to the film's backers."
