I just saw a piece on “The Listening Project” on Current TV and I am hoping that there might be a screening somewhere close to Columbus, OHIO! Please let me know if it will be here and if there is anything I could do to help bring it here. I am very concerned about America’s standing in the world and pray that Americans get a chance to see this and actually hear what others are saying about us. We will never get a clear picture from our current Administration.
Great Idea. I just saw brief coverage about your film on TV and immediately thought this is something I would like to screen in my community as well as experience myself. How would I go about arranging such a screening? I live in a small rural Alaskan community but during the summer there is a great influx of tourists of all over the world. It would be great to schedule a screening during our tourist season and see it could spark some revelant dialogue between the locals and the tourists.
