Pro-life activist Bevelyn Williams announced Aug. 2 that theaters are refusing to show the movie depicting the story of her pro-life activism, imprisonment by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice, and subsequent pardon from President Donald Trump. The movie was set to hit theaters on August 15.

According to a video Williams posted to her X account, all of the theaters that contacted her producer shared the same complaint — the film did not appeal to their audiences.
She added that her movie contains no violence, cursing, or nudity. She also stated that other pro-life films have made it to theaters, and therefore the theaters were not blocking the film simply because it is pro-life.
“[Imma] tell you what the difference is with this movie. ‘Pardon Me’ destroys the narrative when it comes to the African-American community and abortion. It exposes the FBI and the weaponization of the government. It exposes the agenda of the enemy to tear down a family and break a family up, and it also exposes the narrative of these young women that grow up in broken homes and end up at the abortion clinic.”
Williams asked people to share the news about the blackballing of the movie.
Audiences can still stream the movie at the Pardon Me website, and churches can learn on that website how they can host a viewing.
