Thank you for taking part in our January 28 #ElxnFraud event!
Wow, what a success! A Twitter reach of over half-a-million people. Five live events. All connected by the desire to engage in an issue that affects every Canadian: election fraud.
We could not have done it without your participation and your belief in our vision. Your enthusiasm and engagement made for exciting live events across BC and Alberta, and it was even felt by those watching from their computers!
This event takes OPEN CINEMA one step closer to actualizing our vision for a 'hybrid cinema' format, and you have shown us that there are people who are ready and willing to engage with issues that affect us locally and globally.
Read on to see the impact of this event, and stay tuned for more details on our next innovative event, featuring THE SECRET TRIAL 5!

ELECTION DAY IN CANADA: WHEN VOTER SUPPRESSION COMES CALLING
This film needs your help to stay in production!
If you recall, our January 28th event was a screening of clips from the documentary work-in-progress; filmmaker Peter Smoczynski needs a total of $6000 to complete the next phase of production. He's almost there, but he needs your support to finish this film before the election.
