1. Hey, hermanitos, seriously, how can we get a copy of this film?
Even if I have to have a house party to show it, I want to. It would go a long way to obviating the RW fanned hatred for all things Latino in this joint. (And by that I mean, in this culture, not DU.)

2. I'd love to see it. Maybe we should bug our local movie plexes

to show it. That's how we got Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9-11 to be shown locally in my rural hooterville. Another thought. Maybe the Sundance channel will show it if we write them. It's worth a shot.

On edit: Here's the website:

and an email address. feedback@sundancechannel.com I just emailed them. It's worth a shot.

3. The UK distributor is Lionsgate. Maybe we could bug them?
Warning: their site is annoying and loud!

4. Didn't they distribute "An Inconvenient Truth" as well?
It's all worth a shot.

7. HA! The VIO is going to let me know if they get copies
of the film & I've volunteered to produce screenings here in town.

Maybe we could get a thing going. :evilgrin:
