I have been distributing around the internet a list of actions that I think would be helpful in making Moore's film even more widely viewed. I have also contacted several organizations and prominent individuals, asking them to advocate these actions. I have pasted the list below. Please let us know what actions you plan to take in your community.
Several things people can do are:
1. Encourage theaters to show the film.
2. Tell friends, family, coworkers, employees, employers, customers and everyone else about the film and where it's playing.
3. Make homemade flyers advertising the film and place them where people will see them in college classrooms, bookstores, libraries, public restrooms, cinemas, beside ATMs, at churches, and wherever else you think they would be most effective and seen by the greatest number of people. Handing them out to individuals can waste resources, but just placing individual flyers or small stacks of them in prominent places does better.
4. Call public radio stations and cool commercial radio stations and ask them to announce where the film is playing.
5. Hang out at cinemas where the film is playing and induce people to see the film. This could take the form of making a t-shirt that advertises the film and wearing it around the ticket booth of the cinema, walking up to people outside the theater and telling them about the film and suggesting they see it, or hanging out with a group of people with picket signs advertising the film. There are many other things along these lines that could be done too, and the more the merrier.
6. After showings of the film, distribute a small list of books and resources that people might find useful in answering the questions the film raised for them.
7. Distribute this list (with your amendments and additions) in email groups and on message boards. The more people who do these suggested actions, the more people will see the film, and the more powerful it will be as an influence on the election. |
