Post-screening thoughts

choongyong.koh October 31st, 2006

The private movie screening of “An Inconvenient Truth” I organised under the WP Youth Wing was over last evening. Considering the fact that when the idea was first mooted, we were asking ourselves if we were confident to sell the minimum requirement of 50 tickets for a group booking, I must say the turnout was pretty encouraging. The theater we book, although small, was filled except for the first 2 rows.

Thank you all who came to watch the movie. :)

This was the second time I watched this movie, and this time I was able to understand more of the information presented. The feeling I get at the end of the 2 hours was still the same - there is an urgent need to get the message to more people.
The encouraging thought is that at least 2 people I know have blogged about their thoughts after watching the movie.

  • A friend of mine accompanied her husband to the movie last night, and expected to watch a boring documentary on a Monday evening. The movie topic gripped her attention instead, and she left the theater with a new found interest in the topic. She is now telling friends to watch the movie, and encouraging people to “save the frog”
  • A member of Singapore Peak Oil Group (a Google group of like-minded people who are concerned of the Peak Oil crisis) told about her thoughts at My Inconvenient Truth.

Ok, finally I got things worked out and I can now confirm the group screening of the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”. Here are the details:

Date: 30 Oct 2006 (Monday)
Time: 1900hrs
Venue: GV Plaza Hall 2 – Plaza Singapura Level 7
Ticket Price: S$5 per ticket (free seating)

If you are interested in buying the tickets, you can either contact Koh Choong Yong at choongyong@wp.sg or come to the Workers’ Party’s Open House on Monday evenings at 8pm (See http://www.wp.sg/contact/contact.htm for location).

Do note that the price of $5 is only for this particular screening, as part of the price has been subsidized by the Workers’ Party. If you cannot make it for this screening, the movie is still available at Golden Village cinemas at the prevailing rates at other times.

Many thanks to ECO-Singapore’s campaign (http://www.eco-singapore.org/campaign/ait/) for the movie.
