In mid August, members of Working Families, United New York and Moveon.org delivered a petition signed by more than 350,000 supporters to WNET, public television's flagship station, urging a national PBS broadcast for "Citizen Koch." Working Families, Moveon.org, Credo Action and Demand Progress mounted the petition drives. But we have yet to hear from PBS in response.
We aren't going to let the dragons win. Early next year, audiences will be able to watch the film and we are finalizing release plans as I type...
JB: Please keep us in the loop. In the meantime, anything you'd like to tell our readers before we wrap this up?
TL: We want to encourage folks to sign up on the website for updates on the release of "Citizen Koch": If you want to organize a public or private screening of "Citizen Koch" please sign up here.
If you still want to make a donation to make sure that "Citizen Koch" gets out far and wide, please click here (it's tax-deductible). We are so very grateful to all of you who are have joined us on this journey to complete "Citizen Koch" and release it into the world!
JB: I'm looking forward to seeing "Citizen Koch" for myself. Thanks for talking with me, Tia. So glad that you and Carl didn't give up!
