I am forwarding this from Regan at Open Eye. Please pardon duplicates if you

have already seen it from another source.

Preliminary calls have established that some PBS stations have already

programmed the film while others appear to have no intention of airing it.

If you tell them you know a large group of people who will watch and

promote it, you might be able to persuade them to air it. Please post here

how your station responds to your call so the rest of us won't continue to

bother stations who already have programmed the film.

This project probably involves just 2 or 3 - phone calls. I sure hope we

hear some BUZZ about it, because no BUZZ will mean no one is doing anything.

This is your chance to be an activist! Go for it! Stations can download the

film for free from NETA on April 26 even if they don't use it right away.

We want to see this film all over the USA!

Regan's message:

Dear UNDER OUR SKIN Supporter,

Just a quick update to let you know that starting next month the multi

award-winning UNDER

<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?OpenEyePictures/a306025dc5/2340aa3fae/8de0ef6c9a>

OUR SKIN will be airing on many PBS stations across the country, and every

day more and more stations are programming the film.

We're asking you to check to see if the film is scheduled to show in your

area. If your local PBS station has not scheduled the film, please contact

them and ask them to show it. Many of the stations that are broadcasting

UNDER OUR SKIN agreed to schedule it after receiving a handful of calls from

viewers in the community. And if you are willing to help spread the word in

your area about an upcoming broadcast, please be sure to mention that to

your PBS affiliate so they will know there is local support for the film.

For local PBS station contact information, go to www.pbs.org/stationfinder
