[Peace-discuss] should we bring new Oliver Stone doc re: South America to C-U?

[Jenifer Cartwright]

I LOVE this idea (and the film AND the good stuff happening in So America) and would happily "pile in" but couldn't figure out how to add my 2c to Bob's and Stuart's. (I'm not on facebook and don't want to be, so if that's a requirement, I'll let others speak for me... and hope they do!") --Jenifer

At Stuart's suggestion, I posted a note on the Art's Facebook page. 
I encourage everyone to pile in:

Ooh, this sounds cool.

Haven't tried advocating any films with the new owner,
but have chatted with him several times.   He seems like the

type of person who might well take this on.
