Bathurst Movie Gets Go Ahead From School District

School District 15 giving Dream Street Pictures the go ahead to use Bathurst High School to film their movie about the Boys in Red van crash that took the lives of 7 players and a coach's wife.

Isabelle Hains lost her son in the crash and is one of the moms campaigning against the film. She tells CHSJ News she doesn't know why the district would go against their wishes. She says it's beyond her how the District can call this a "feel good" movie. She says it will act as a permanent reminder of what happened and it's too soon for the families to deal with that.

She says the community is on their side with a petition circulating against the film. She says copies will be sent to the Premier as well Transportation Minister Claude Williams and Minister of Sport Trevor Holder.
