What are your plans, if any, to deal with the high likelihood that protesters will do everything they can to prevent people from entering the theater, make it impossible to peacefully hear and watch the film, and harass and assault audience members on the way out? I believe the police should be warned ahead of time or adequate private security provided. The AMC chain may want to be prepared and provide their own security as well.

I'm not being alarmist, I just know how trans activists operate. Especially in large cities, the showing of the film will be seen as a provocation and every attempt will be made to prevent its being shown. Anyone who followed the reaction to Kathleen Stock at Oxford, or to Kellie-Jay Keen in Auckland, knows what I'm talking about. In both cases, law enforcement had to be called to restore order. In the case of Stock, 200 protesters screamed outside while others stormed the hall and prevented her talk from continuing until police finally removed them. In the case of Keen, the police intervened and surrounded her to prevent her from being killed. She was not able to present her remarks. The purpose of her talk was "Let Women Speak," which apparently is a crime against nature unless one is a woman with a penis.

It was our honor to host this film temporarily at The Distance while it was blocked by the original host. We recommend it for all viewers.
