Adnan Zuberi has had considerable sucess, as given below, in promulgating his film—much from Canada (whee he is professor), but elsewhere as well.

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><em><u>New Updates</u>:</em></div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">115) Harvard U's Library entered the documentary into their system today:
<a href="http://hollis.harvard.edu/?itemid=%7Clibrary/m/aleph%7C013974481">http://hollis.harvard.edu/?itemid=%7Clibrary/m/aleph%7C013974481</a></div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">114) Tucker Carlson, formerly of Fox and CNN, whom you may remember as the fellow who had mistreated David Ray Griffin and Steven Jones on his show, maintains his position on 9/11 but clearly has changed
in many ways. In the following March 1st 2014 interviews with Alex Jones, he has clearly changed over the years and is more open to discussing 9/11 skepticism in a polite way. He says "I have no idea what happened to WTC 7". It was nice to see him and Alex
Jones laugh together and team up on one point at least, that 9/11 was used to remove our liberties. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Video 1: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82NGaZYcrhA">

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M10NINpa9Z8</a></div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I'm thinking of approaching Carlson now.
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">113) University of Waterloo Alumni Affairs will be running a story on the success of the documentary. Will share when it is published. Will be approaching U of Toronto's alumni affairs next. Since all
those involved in the film have many university affiliations, dating back to undergrad, I think we can reach out to a larger alumni network and promote the film as a "alumni news" success story.
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">112) Peter Biesterfeld, founder and co-ordinator of the Documentary Production Program at Algonquin College in Ottawa, who has worked on hundreds of films and videos as script writer, director, cameraman
and editor for broadcast and non-broadcast audiences. He's currently making a film on the firing of Prof. Denis Rancourt. Here's his feedback:
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">111) "I just watched your film. What a fine job you did unpacking and unfolding all the issues in a very accessible, logical, engaging and at times challenging way. Your speakers were most articulate
and brought solid understanding to the subject matter and your additional materials from graphics to stock footage were effectively woven into the film without overpowering or distracting from the through story, the debate around how the academic community
went to sleep and snored through events and in a post-9/11 world still hasn't mustered the courage for critical analysis of what happened. McMurtry's CBC debate material was brilliantly used near the end to give the entire doc an aerial view, the context
for why this discussion is important. The climax of the piece indeed. Well done. This was a very refreshing treat, a respite from the over-the-top and hyperpartisan spin treatment this topic receives from what I think is a mostly well-meaning truther movement.
Thank you for sharing."</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">110) A fifth prof at U of Toronto, in my counting of those who are new to this subject, is now open to using the film in her classes. The fact that four of them are in the same department really means
something about changing knowledge in a more truthful direction. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">109) Steve Cohn, a friend with AE911Truth who is helping with Arizona State University's AE911Truth Group said "So far one Sociology professor has seen the film... He wants to discuss it further but his
student who lent it to him hadn't seen it yet, so the discussion will have to wait. Then on Friday, we gave it to an Electrical Engineering senior level tenured professor, Dr. Michael Koziky, originally from Scotland, who is already convinced (by us) that
building 7 was controlled demo."</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">108) About to order 1000 DVDs and getting the ball rolling again. I have given up unfortunately on inserting closed-captioning - nearly impossible task to get an 18 page transcript into the exact time
slots the professors speak in. Now that Harvard has the film, I intend to engage several libraries to also purchase the film and that will hopefully provide perpetual funds that I can use to get this film to profs.

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">107) A notable professor who heads one of the units of the royal society of Canada, sent a note to me and Prof Michael Keefer saying that he is thankful for receiving the film and that he'll give us feedback
once he has watched it. Michael, thanks for connecting with the professor. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">106) Harvard U's library has requested the film. Many thanks to Gustavo for submitting the request to his library accompanied with the film's endorsements.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">105) Lars Schall, a well known journalist in Germany, has published his interview with me regarding the documentary. The article is called: "The Sound of Silence in Academia Connected to 9/11". <br>
Article Link: <span style="font-size:small"><a href="http://www.larsschall.com/2014/02/21/the-sound-of-silence-in-academia-connected-to-911-2/" target="_blank">http://www.larsschall.com/2014/02/21/the-sound-of-silence-in-academia-connected-to-911-2/</a></span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">104) The March 4th edition of California's Yolo County newspaper, <i>The David Examiner</i>, mentioned the screening of the film. Very brief and positive, and stated UCSB Economics Professor Stephen LeRoy's
endorsement statement of the film: </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><a href="http://www.davisenterprise.com/local-news/briefly/documentary-examines-academics-response-to-911/" target="_blank">http://www.davisenterprise.com/local-news/briefly/documentary-examines-academics-response-to-911/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>103) Prof Ken Westhues of U of Waterloo introduced me to Peter Biesterfeld. Peter is a Toronto film school instructor and is making a documentary film on how physicist Denis Rancourt was fired from U of Ottawa. We had a good lunch and exchanged notes given
the similar nature of our films. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>102) Youtube is reviewing my application for monetizing the film online. If approved, this will allow people to pay to view the film on Youtube. This will eliminate mailing costs. The profits will continue to be used for sending out free DVDs to good profs.
At the moment, I have about seven DVDs left. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>101) I followed up with Alan Borovoy, general counsel emeritus of the CCLA. As CBC had noted about him, he always has quite the humour. He said he unfortunately lost the DVD and that it shouldn't matter because he wouldn't know how to play the DVD :) <br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">100) Edward Peck, served as US Ambassador to Iraq, and Deputy Director of Covert Programs & Deputy Director of the White House Terrorism Task Force, said he found the film to be impressive. He has plenty
of jokes about Canada :) He provided me a couple good contacts to help me with my other project of establishing a permanent diplomatic website channel for civil societies and foreign governments. I'm glad to also have Peter Dale Scott's help on the project
as well. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">99) Phyllis Creighton O.Ont, a wonderful friend we recently met through Barrie Zwicker, got Andrew Preston interested in the film as he was a guest speaker at the Creighton Lectures on History by U of
Toronto. Preston is a Reader of History at Cambridge U. I sent a note to John Naughton, a VP at Cambridge, to invite Preston to his research team's screening of the film. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">98) Richard Falk, currently professor emeritus of international law and a member of UNHRC, who had co-authored a book with David Ray Griffin on <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">9</span>/<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">11</span>,

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">"<font size="1"><span style="font-family:Tahoma">I have now had the opportunity to watch your film "<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">9</span>/<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">11</span> in
the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">Academic</span> <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">Community</span>." It raises many </span><span style="font-family:Tahoma">important issues that are of fundamental relevance to the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">9</span>/<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">11</span>debate
as well as to the general freedom </span><span style="font-family:Tahoma">available in the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">academic</span> <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">community</span>. I think it deserves wide dissemination
and discussion.</span></font></div>
<div style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font size="1"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font size="1">At the same time I have several reservations about the film in its present form. The editing of the film is not smooth in places, and some of the speakers are not clearly identified. Also there is
a failure to link the failures of the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">academic</span> <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">community</span> to investigate with the general societal disposition to be suspicious about the official
version, especially in the United States. It would also have been useful to give Griffin a bigger role, assuming he was willing to be interviewed on camera. My suggestion is this: that you seek supplemental funding to do a second</font></div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:Tahoma"><font size="1">version that is tighter and meets these technical challenges. Also, it is possible that an overall narrator would be helpful in tying the various issues
and participants together better.</font></span>"</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">97) Peter Hoffman, William Kingsford Professor of History, of McGill University, would like to see the film. He has provided the most comprehensive documentation of the German resistance towards Hitler,
and had approved of the script for the movie<i>Valkyrie </i>that had Tom Cruise in it. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">96) Steve Cohn at Arizona State University gave the film to James Adams, president's professor of material sciences & engineering. Prof Adams accepted and said he'll watch it and return the copy by tomorrow. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">95) A prof emeritus of fire engineering, formerly a fire sciences division head at NIST has welcomed the opportunity to view the film. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">94) Prof MacQueen said the screening by the McMaster arts & sci student society went really well. Students asked many insightful questions. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">93) Two distinguished professors, one in American law and the other in English, at Stanford and Cornell responded to my e-mail, they are interested to watch the film. I'll send the films this week to
them. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">92) Sent the film to an civil engineering undergrad at Utah State University as he intends to screen the film and to loan it out to profs. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">91) A professor at Michigan U directing their criminal justice program responded and would like to see the film.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">90) The contact working at Harvard's faculty of arts & sci, Gustavo Espada, wrote to me: "I thought the film was very well made on the whole, and it’s been well received by those I’ve shown it to, who
seemed to appreciate how unlike most previous <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">9</span>/<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">11</span>films it is." He said he'll get more detailed reviews from those who watched it. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">89) A student at Adelphi University in New York would like to discuss the film as a possible topic for his research. He said he lost his aunt in the Sept. <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">11</span> event.
I suggested that he contact Prof Keefer & Truscello for research advice. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">88) Lars Schall of the <i>Asia Times Online </i>liked the film and has decided to write an article on the documentary. Prof. Zarembka: thanks for the connection. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">87) Prof Korol is amazing - he just published his third paper about the WTC collapse in a peer reviewed civil engineering journal. As we know, Northwestern U's Prof Bazant's theoretical 3-hinge column
model in the WTC, is maintained as the greatest absorber of energy during a progressive collapse. He said that even in the best case scenario, the towers were doomed to collapse (his widely cited 2001 J of Engineering Mechanics paper Why The Towers Were Doomed
to Collapse). Prof Korol experimentally showed this to be false and showed how axial compression absorbs far more energy. Paper was published about three days ago. See first paper under documentary website's listing: <a href="http://911inacademia.com/journal-papers/" target="_blank">http://911inacademia.com/journal-papers/ </a> <br>

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">84) I have about 15 DVDs left and am getting through the transcribing to make the next DVDs available with captions, hopefully. Youtube has is now an online Blockbuster that allows for people to purchase
a 1 time or 5 time viewing of a film. This saves costs for mailing or reproducing the film. I think professors still prefer receiving the hardcopy rather than a link to view online. </div>

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">63) The most important <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">update</span> is that we have a communication model that is working. Nearly all professors responds to the e-mail invitation to view
the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>. I mostly approach those professors whose public record demonstrates a commitment to<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>academic</span></span> freedom and critical thinking which already
accommodates the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>'s line of inquiry - it's just that they are unaware of it. To reach a visible fraction of <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">academia</span> in North America, it's necessary

20) The "Regional Educational Television Network" in the state of Vermont would like to play the <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">documentary</font> on their channel (cable access channel serving 40,000 homes)</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">19) Prof. Cary Nelson would like a copy upon receiving a e-mail from me. He is Professor of English & Jubilee Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Former
pres. American Association of University Professors. He has written about the negative impact on universities and <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>academic</span></span> freedom in the post-<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>9</span></span>/<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>11</span></span> world.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">18) Burns Weston, a friend of David Ray Griffin, and dist. prof emeritus of law at Iowa U liked the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>, and I hope to work with him in getting it
into their curricula</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">17) Emma Fletcher, President of the Undergraduate Sociology Club at Indiana University, will screen the <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">documentary</font> and will have a panel of <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">academics</span> discuss
it. An event has been organized at U of Hartford, possibly more on the way at Central Ct. State Univ. and Wesleyan Univ.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
16) A librarian at Cornell U purchased & made a generous donation. A prof at University of Johannesburg, South Africa, purchased the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>. <br>
</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
15) Kenneth Westhues, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at U. Waterloo, an expert on "<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>academic</span></span> mobbing" purchased a copy for himself and for a colleague of his at Florida U who also specializes
on this topic. He wrote me a note that he is good friends with Prof MacGregor and McMurtry. It's nice to have learned that. <br>
</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
14) John Vanderkooy, Dist. Professor of Physics Emeritus at U.Waterloo, declined to review the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> but said the following "My principal interests do not lie in the area of <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">academia</span> as
it relates to administration politics and the effect of <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>9</span></span>/<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>11</span></span> on our society, and I do not think a review from me would be
helpful. I congratulate you on the award, and hope that the <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">documentary</font>helps to build collective conscience." I will be removing the sentence in my e-mails that asks for their "review" because they may
feel unqualified to review it or that their review would be a public review visible to everyone and so instead I am using the wording "I believe you would be a most thoughtful professor to share this <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">documentary</font> with"-
which is better if their expertise is in <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>academic</span></span> freedom or the ethics of war or torture - something related to the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">13) I will be approaching the 100+ profs on the Patriots Question <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>9</span></span>/<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>11</span></span> list
to have them circulate copies for general feedback among their colleagues. This will help accelerate the process.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">12</span>) Prof. Friedrich Steinhäusler reviewed the <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">documentary</font> and
wrote a letter of recommendation for the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>. I'll send in another e-mail his slight criticisms of the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> but overall it met his expectations.
Steinhäusler is full professor of physics at Salzburg University (previously taught at Stanford), a member of the Permanent Monitoring Panel for Mitigating Terrorist Acts for the World Federation of Scientists and an advisor to NATO on terrorism. He has chaired
NATO's workshops and authored in NATO's journal on catastrophic terrorism. Has advised 27 FR & EU member states on these subjects, awarded as Austria's top security champion (and so forth ..). </p>

<font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>11</span></span>) The <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">documentary</font> was screened at the annual PJSA (Peace
& Justice Studies Association) conference at Wilfrid Laurier University on Friday Oct 18. A professor and director of Earlham College's peace and global studies program loved the<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> and she'll try to
get it into universities. Another professor, I can't remember her name, said she was the dean and was affiliated with Hartford University, got a copy and will screen it at her uni. On the following day, the Saturday, there was a bit of a positive buzz about
the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> around the conference.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">10</span>) The <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">documentary</font> was
shown again on the evening of Oct. 18 at U.Waterloo. Graeme did an awesome QA. Four students got the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> and we worked out a plan on how to approach their profs with the films as "review copies" so to
circulate them continuously. The president of the Muslim Students Association at UW (largest student body on campus apparently) just e-mailed me and wants to do another event with the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>9</span></span>) Paul Almond, author and filmmaker - member of the Canadian
Royal Academy of Arts and Officer of the Order of Canada, considered as one of Canada's best filmmaker in the 70s, expressed interest in getting the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>. </p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> 8) Jan Narveson, distinguished professor emeritus of philosophy at U.Waterloo, royal society of Canada fellow & order of Canada
officer, wants to "view" the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> rather than "review" the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> - still good IMO.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
<font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> 7) Over 100 docs now sold - 67 mailed out. Catching on shipping out the rest this week. And my mom finally watched the doc and said the young guy was good. Michael T, any idea who this
guy might be? :)</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> 6) Roger Bowen, has accepted to review the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>. He is a past President
of the State University of New York (New Paltz) and former General Secretary of the American Assoc. of University Professors. Paul Z- thanks for giving me his contact.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> 5) UofT History Dept's Prof. Michael Gervers will try to get the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> screened
by their history society in February. </p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> 4) Charles Lindblom, Sterling Prof Emeritus of Political Science at Yale & past president of the American Political Sci Association
has accepted to review the <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">documentary</font>.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
<font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> 3) A Harvard faculty of arts & sci employee has ordered the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>. The <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> is
so far very successful in the number of orders coming in. I also gave the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> in person to Elizabeth Riddell-Dixon, a dist. fellow of the Bill Graham contemporary history centre at UofT and prof emerita
of political science at UWO. She read the cover and said she really looks forward to watching it and will provide feedback. It seems like the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> cover design was essential in getting it right.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> 2) A government employee at the USDA who responds to inquires from the president and congress has ordered the<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span>.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)"><span>Update</span></font> 1) UWO's librarians requested the <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">documentary</font> and said "We believe this <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> will
enhance the curriculum for many of our courses." After some time, I will ask these supportive U.Guelph & UWO libraries to recommend other university libraries to consider obtaining the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">film</span> and to introduce
it to their professors. This adds to the strategy of approaching <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">academics</span> from all directions within the university. </p>
