SCREENINGS

In early 2020 (pre-COVID-19) we arranged a number of screenings in mining-affected communities across Canada. In response to the pandemic we’ve changed our plans to present virtual screenings with post-screening discussions via Zoom.

Would you like to host a virtual screening of The Shadow of Gold? It’s easy and affordable. To find our more, visit our REQUEST A VIRTUAL SCREENING PAGE.
