1. Good to meet you Shannon!
   Thanks for bringing the film to Edmonton.
   Your work will be a powerful tool in our fight to stop the willful ignorance that keeps the Tar Sands running.

   Best of luck!

2. I missed the screening! When will it be screened again in Edmonton? Do I have to wait for the DVD to come out?
