Distribution plan:
1) Sell finished DVD on internet & bricks and mortar book stores and through nonprofit/political organizations.
2) Use sales and/or fundraising to begin a discussion tour in key identified Northwest cities/towns. Invite business and political stakeholders to attend a forum that includes a showing of film with a panel of scientists, business owners, labor and environmental leaders to discuss afterwards; allow long period of Q&A from audience.
