Community Screenings
When The Uprising of '34 was broadcast on the PBS series P.O.V. in 1995 thousands of people all across the country will be watching together--in their homes, libraries, union halls, community centers, classrooms.
We've left this information available on our web site to provide you with some interesting ideas about how you can do something similar.
