We recently held a virtual screening and filmmaker Q&A at Oklahoma State University with a graduate level class. It was exciting to interact with so many engaged students with concerns about the world. If you'd like to host a live in-person or virtual screening and discussion with the filmmaker for your college, university, organization or church, please contact us here:
