We are happy to announce a virtual screening of Change the Subject, followed by a discussion with Tina Gross, a librarian who is interviewed in the film. We know that there were several screenings scheduled for this spring which had to be cancelled, so we hope that you are able to join this live virtual event. The documentary portion of the event will not be recorded, but the Q&A portion will be. While there is no charge, capacity is limited for this event, so registration is required.
Please note: it's not too late to register to attend, but the deadline to put in your popcorn order has now passed.
