Confirmed reports of the movie Bella so far saving at least 15 mothers and their babies from abortion has spurred its producers to recently launch their bella 10 campaign. The campaign is an unusual, grassroots targeted promotion strategy designed to give individual fans of the movie lots of practical advice and tools to convince 10 people to order a Bella DVD who would in turn convince 10 others to do the same. The campaign asks the rhetorical question, "Can a movie really save a child's life?" to emphasize that by promoting or even giving away purchased copies of the movie lives will be saved.
In an interview with LifeSiteNews today, Bella producer Leo Severino explained the rationale of the DVD promotion strategy. Severino related that he and the rest of the Bella team see the movie as "the entertainment ultrasound" which through its storyline and characters heightens the awareness of expectant mothers of what is living inside of them. Because they have seen the movie in fact achieve that reality they felt compelled to develop the bella 10 campaign program and website. The website makes it very simple to purchase one copy or a bulk quantity of the DVD and provides many suggestions on how to engage others to do the same....
The DVD, to be released tomorrow, May 6, had strong pre-order sales this past weekend and was the number one selling romantic movie on Amazon.com. Severino stated, "We beat Pride & Prejudice and Atonement." He said the movie was 29th overall of all film and television program DVDs sold.

Pro-life ping!
I saw it in the theaters and give a big thumbs up.
My wife and I also enjoyed Bella very much during opening weekend. We talked about it for weeks, but we were disappointed in that almost no one actually went to see the movie. No point in complaining about immoral Hollywood movies if we do not support movies with a good message.
We will buy the DVD for ourselves and for others as gifts.
We just watched Bella after renting it from Netflix. Best movie we’ve seen in a long time!
