How to See the Film...
We announce all screenings on the blog with the label: screening. There were screenings at Notre Dame University in October and hopefully more college dates will be announced.
There are several ways to see the film if no showing is currently scheduled in your area.
First, you could ask your local cinema if they are interested in screening the film. You can point them to the trailer and reviews (but bear in mind many reviewers only watch the film on DVD and so they don't experience how powerfully it comes across in theaters).
Then tell the cinema that our theatrical distribution company is Indican Pictures.
The address and phone and fax are on the right. They will be happy to discuss a theatrical run.
There is another approach which is quite exciting because it does not require you to have contacts in the movie business. If you would like to host the film and the director at your college, school, or church, you can contact us via email. You will normally need to cover travel costs and a modest honorarium. Email information is available here.
WHERE'S THE DVD?
At last! The DVD is in stores now! Ask for it. Buy it for your self, your family, or someone you love. Or put it in your Netflix queue. You can find all the DVD information here. Remember that the retail DVD is not licensed for screenings to schools, colleges, or other large audiences. We ask that you email us about such screenings. Email information is available here.

Outdoor Screening?
Yes! You can actually do a pretty good screening with an LCD projector and a large white sheet strung between two palm trees (as seen here--of course, dry weather and a lack of strong breezes does help).
This shot was taken when students at Flagler College in Saint Augustine used an outdoor showing on the school campus to raise over $400 for the Coley family.
Jacksonville Film Festival
Lots of people turned up on a sunny Saturday morning and the feedback was excellent. DNWA was much talked about during many of the other festival events. Our thanks to Jean Tait for the invitation and to Cynthia Kane for her words of encouragement.
Florida Film Festival, Enzian Theater, Maitland, Florida
At 11 A.M. on Sunday, March 26, 2006. A full house despite the (hopefully not intentional) poor timing. Great post-screening Q&A and excellent feedback.
Independent Black Film Festival, Atlanta, March 2006
Response to the screening on Tuesday March 14, at The Cinefé Movie Theatre, Lithona, was very enthusiastic. We were honored by the presence of several marchers from 1964, including JT Wilson of the SCLC.
Cinequest San Jose Film Festival, March, 2006
The film was so well received that the organizers added a third screening to meet demand.
