I'm Not Ashamed is a 2016 drama film based on the journals of Rachel Scott, the first victim of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Columbine, Colorado. Scott is the main protagonist, and the story of both gunmen who committed the shooting, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, is intertwined with Scott's.[4][5]

Cast

YouTube controversy

YouTube has been accused of advocating an anti-Christian bias by blocking the official trailer of I'm Not Ashamed for 11 months from its site.[7][8] Reportedly, the video sharing site had repeatedly removed the trailer for the movie from their site without offering any valid explanation.[9]

Box office

The film opened in 505 select theaters on October 21, 2016. The gross intake upon its opening day was $330,000.[3]

Reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 33%, based on 6 reviews, with an average rating of 4/10.[10] On Metacritic, the film received a score of 29 out of 100, based on 5 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews."[11]

Plugged In Movie Reviews gave a positive review of the film, saying "Rachel Joy Scott's story is a moving example of the difference just one committed Christian can make in the lives of people around her." [12] The Los Angeles Times gave a mixed review, noting "...a refreshing lack of moralizing here, and a welcome emphasis on accepting people for who they are."[13]
