All films will have some engagement with the audience and each other. This is not a typical "just show a film and have people walk out" like in a traditional theater. This is A way for people to engage, ask questions, get answers, answer with answers from others who have questions. At times we will have "experts" in a specific area to answer questions, i.e. farmers, poultry experts, fisher people, etc...... There are also other groups and organizations that can and do cosponsor these films to gain wider appeal, attention AND sometimes we even have food and beer (and wine) to make it a very festive event, combining entertainment with education!
