DRILL BABY DRILL SCREENING IN CORNING USA

Odile & Lech,

It was an honor for me to facilitate the Q &A after the screening.

We had a full theater in Corning NY USA screening Drill Baby Drill.

The audience was very attentive and stayed an hour and a half after

the screening. They were very inspired and there was much discussion

as to similarities and differences on the international anti-fracking

scene. The farmers in Poland were inspirational to the people who

came. We had one elected official.

During the question and answer time I interspersed answers to

questions that Odile answered from a list I emailed her earlier in the

day. That worked well to mix the words from Europe with ones in the

room!

Everybody in attendance thought the film was inspiring and fresh! The

spirit of the movement was very alive!

The Ray Kimble interview had standing ovation (people were really

sitting). One woman commented "this film was unique and was more

effective in a foreign language. It was powerful with it's rawness and

truth! The message is more filtered here in the USA."

A 76 year old gentleman stood up at the end and said elders should

climb onto gas industry equipment and get arrested....adding he needs

something to do in his retirement years.

The film and the creative resistance Polish farmers are doing moved

people to a new level of commitment to be engaged.

The evening was high energy and brought attention to the need to keep

fighting in NEPA and Poland and of course Internationally. We are all

in this together!

We will keep taking this banner to screenings and events to support

Polish farmers who block Chevron from destroying communities.

SOLIDARNIE BLOKUJA!
