This event could be highly effective in stimulating thought and discussion at your high school. Schedule, publicize, and screen a series of top-quality feature films and documentaries that focus on abortion or other life issues. Follow up each film with a discussion led by thoughtful and capable pro-lifers who are versed in film analysis.
Step by Step Guide:
1. If your high school will allow you, reserve a room that has the capability to project your films onto a large screen so that all your guests will have a clear view of the film. If your festival runs for multiple days, reserve the same room so that your guests will be able to find it for the other films.
2. Choose top-quality films and documentaries that focus on abortion or other life issues. For information about obtaining public performance licenses, please click here. Some films include:
