I was so impressed by this film and thought it would change so many minds that I obtained a glossy one page advertisement of the film from Zeitgeist films and went door to door with it, along with another flyer advertising the tapes of Michael Parenti’s lectures. Zeitgeist films was not enthusiastic about my efforts and I couldn’t get any financing for my efforts or any interest from other leftist groups. I went to about 600,000 homes in Los Angeles and Orange counties, before I ran out of money for printing the flyers. I still think it is worth going door to door to talk to people and give them leaflets of important information, but it seems I am a voice crying in the wilderness.
