The protest by My Chemical Romance fans against the Daily Mail's coverage of emo at the weekend (May 31) has been filmed for a documentary.
Internet music site Audio Junkies filmed the protest and have posted a trailer online already (watch it below).
Entitled Emo protest vs Daily Mail, the documentary covers the protest and includes footage of fans tearing up a Daily Mail newspaper as well as interviews with gathered protestors.
Comments on the video trailer on Youtube.com range from supportive to very negative.
It is unknown when the full-length version of the film will be released.
My Chemical Romance fans protested outside the Daily Mail's office following articles published in the paper that branded emo a 'suicide cult', although the Daily Mail defended its coverage as 'balanced and restrained'.

They still insist on calling the movie EMOS.

And there's actually two being made. The other one is being made by OnMeJack productions, and has interviews from Allison, Kate, Alex and I. I'm not sure if the other one does... |

Posts: 1052 | July 4th, 2008 at 05:24pm It sounds like a good idea, but its lame that it follows the stereo type of EMO. Thats just dumb and telling the story of the protesters. EMO has nothing to do with it in my opinion.
I am also shocked at the negative response the clip has gotten on youtube, not only is there the typical "MCR sucks" stuff but there is a ton of generalizations being made about "emos." How they all wine and want attention and are all bi!
I would like to present myself as if in a living exhibit to all MCR haters showing them a straight male who is the opposite of "emo" and yet loves MCR can and does exist.  ~ Rex |

Posts: 863 | July 4th, 2008 at 07:46pm I like how they still call MCR emo. 
Obviously, they didn't see all the comments made by mcr fans. "mcr aren't emo!" People are automatically going to assume bad things by hearing 'oh, emo protest film!'
Eh, I guess it's a good idea, because I'd love to see more videos of the protest.

Posts: 2257 | July 7th, 2008 at 02:59am the whole point of the protest was to eliminate mcr from being a part of the shitty emo stereotype
this is just gonna be full of so called experts going on about how the band is emo but that's 'okay'
ugh...i'd watch it so i could be a bitch about it =] |

Posts: 344 | July 7th, 2008 at 03:37pm i think that this film espeically tbe beginning part ridicules the mcr protest. I think it defeats the point that many MCR fans were making when they gather at marble arch and outside the daily mails offices. |

They made it out as a protest of "Emo isn't a suicide cult" instead of "MCR isn't a suicide cult." What the fuck? That's not right. They aren't emo. I want to destroy that association with My Chem, not continue it... |
