Are willing to do a conference call with our leadership… What makes this movie more amenable to the race discussion? What is it about this movie that is different? This movie is divinely timed has been years in the making. Looking at the time of its culmination at a time when we are at a heightened racial tension. This film resonates with its time. It shows a part of the civil rights movement and some of the folks that we don’t get to see or hear much about. It also shows the strategy of the movement how it was both races, it impacted policy, it was transformational. It shows how policy does not always change without demand. Also the unique invitation to view the movie intentionally with people of a different race. If we wanted to organize a major event, they will help us to organize it through Paramount and have it so that we will have the theatre to ourselves and they will work out the ticket purchases, publicity, etc. To watch the trailer go to : youtube/watch?v=x6t7vVTxaic
