Why the tour? Having gone to all the work to create this video, the next obvious step was to get it out into the world where folks could hear about community living and experience it vicariously. So far the documentary has gotten very positive reviews, both from the viewing audiences and from the published reviewers. In over 100 showings to date, over 2500 folks have seen all or part of the video. Below is an itinerary for the first two years of the tour as it unfolded ... shows indicated as "Screenings" were viewings of the tape in its entirety. The other events featured me narrating a PowerPoint overview of the history, then showing excerpts from the final cut.

I hope that you'll spot a venue in this list that is similar to something local for you, and that you'll be inspired to contact me soon—to see if we can arrange a showing in your area. Email me at geoph**@**ic.org (omit the *asterisks).
