[Migrantjusticedocumentary] Website!!!

Tue May 19 07:58:15 PDT 2015

Like i said the website looks great! i think it would be neat to post
screenings past and upcoming, but only if there's a way for us to update it
ourselves as it is too much work for just you! one thing missing is a email
contact. can we add the resist or gmail address ... for people who have
questions, want dvds etc. then i can start checking it!
also i'd wait a hot second to put up the full length on youtube, and get an
email ready for all the funders so they get a special announcement for when
they can watch it (and maybe send them the download links). what do people
think? i wouldn't wait too long, unless there's festival applications that
would be compromised.
great work everyone!
