We recently earned our "Screening Liberally" merit badge with our FREE showing of Robert Reich's movie "Inequality For All" on April 1. In true egalitarian fashion, after the movie all attendees were offered the opportunity to express their take-way from the movie. The group of 15 not only had a great discusion, we enjoyed traditional movie snacks and decided to host more liberal screenings in the future.
