Host a Future Screening
After the film appears in film festivals, most likely throughout 2020, we will be activating an outreach and community screening program. We will also be identifying individual hosts and/or partner organizations to screen it locally in churches, schools, community centers, workplaces, and at conferences. In some cases, we can provide panelists to help lead a discussion after the film.
