thank you, I have many friends who will watch this. The word is finally getting out about the illegal detentions.
I've been anxious to see this since I first heard about it over a year ago. But alas... I find my current residence on the west coast and have been unable to attend past events. Are there any plans for a screening in LA at some point?
I will ask them tonight and find out where additional screenings might be held and post what I learn.
Thanks for asking.
Any possibilities of something in DC?

the above is the movie link site where you can get info on where it is being presented and maybe even contact them if you want to try to pull something together at your location. I understand they are looking at trying to present to our senators and reps so what for news about that and perhaps multiple showings can occur in DC.
