The screening of 'Bowling for Columbine' begins at
7:00 PM ET in New York City
and runs 119 minutes. You may want to start watching it a little earlier, so that if you pause it at any point you'll finish at the same time as in New York.
There is going to be a discussion at MoveOn.org in New York City for online access. (click here) So, please join the discussion on March 23rd, which is this coming Saturday. There will be a live discussion. To submit questions please do so (click here).
We need to believe we can change the face of gun violence in the USA forever. We can do this. We need to 'get there.'
