The film's Facebook page says this month it will be available from Amazon.com video on demand, but it's not available there as of now.

It is available there as a DVD there though, http://www.amazon.com/Redemption-Maddie ... ref=sr_1_1
It's a DVDR which is manufactured on demand when you purchase it from Amazon.com.

That's cruelty against a pet

The film's official website provides the following description: In the wake of tragedy, 14 year old Maddie Clifford employs sex, insulin syringes, and an ill-fated rabbit in her disquietingly poignant search for salvation.
The synopsis highlights a fascinating aspect of the film's plot which revolves around the so-called rabbit test, a disturbing practice employed to detect pregnancy used in the early twentieth century.


Rabbit test
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the 1978 film directed by Joan Rivers, see Rabbit Test (film).
See also: Rabbit Test (Ugly Betty)
The rabbit test was an early pregnancy test developed in 1927 by Bernhard Zondek and Selmar Aschheim. The original test actually used mice.[1] The test consisted of injecting the tested woman's urine into a female rabbit, then examining the rabbit's ovaries a few days later, which would change in response to a hormone only secreted by pregnant women. The hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), is produced during pregnancy and indicates the presence of a fertilized egg; it can be found in a pregnant woman's urine and blood. The rabbit test became a widely used bioassay (animal-based test) to test for pregnancy. The term "rabbit test" was first recorded in 1949 but became a common phrase in the English language. Xenopus frogs were also used in a similar "frog test".
Modern pregnancy tests still operate on the basis of testing for the presence of the hormone hCG. Due to medical advances, use of a live animal is no longer required.
It is a common misconception that the injected rabbit would die only if the woman was pregnant. This led to the phrase "the rabbit died" being used as a euphemism for a positive pregnancy test. In fact, all rabbits used for the test died, because they had to be surgically opened in order to examine the ovaries. While it was possible to do this without killing the rabbit, it was generally deemed not worth the trouble and expense.

Interesting idea for salvation. Surely her boyfriends were ready to forgive her very much if not everything

update: Can somebody do AI nagic and transcribe the text? I himself can do timings.

As requested, here are some whisper generated subs. I made a few corrections, but did not have time to finish before bedtime. Mostly, it looks good.

One area I couldn't quite make out was:

32
00:04:51,580 --> 00:04:53,048
That isn't my fault.

33
00:04:54,408 --> 00:04:55,582
Hang up.

34
00:04:55,607 --> 00:04:57,165
Call you back.


The "hang up" might also be "hold up". It sounds like "hang up", but that isn't said often when intending to call someone back. But I am by no means an authority on regional variation. Either way, no big difference.

I think it is "hang up"


Later when Maddie talked about rabbit at school... I think the teacher realized that Maddie is pregnant

00:12:31,690 --> 00:12:32,690
Thanks.

97
00:12:35,170 --> 00:12:36,170
Sue.

That line 97...

The gorls name was Maddie.... Can that boy's answer be "sure" in the meaning that "no reason to thank me, I am happy to help you"
