HOST SCREENINGS IN YOUR CITY
As minority communities face the daily stranglehold of racial profiling, and police officers face relentless scrutiny by an anxious public, tensions mount as lines are being drawn in the sand. This conflict can only be broken by finding common ground with each other. L.O.V.E. Is The Answer. WALKING WHILE BLACK: L.O.V.E. Is The Answer is a solutions-oriented film using the most powerful force in the universe: LOVE. ABOUT THE FILM PURCHASE A LICENSE FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION $495/Year Organizations such as high schools, colleges, ministries, law enforcement agencies, libraries, community nonprofits, and companies are licensing this film for screenings to their audiences. These 1-year licenses are $495/year. Simply fill out the License Agreement, available on our website, scan and return it to us via email. We will then send you an electronic invoice you can pay with your credit card.

MAKE THE BIGGEST IMPACT WALKING WHILE BLACK : L.O.V.E. Is The Answer is an invaluable training tool -- saving lives, enhancing careers, protecting organizations from civil lawsuits and bringing communities closer together. Licensees may use the film as much as they want in a classroom or theater setting for their audience at one designated location for one year. Organizations and individuals may also become a Patron of the Hearts by purchasing licenses to donate to schools, libraries or other organizations in their community (for example, if a couple wanted to donate licenses to police departments or if a law firm wanted to donate licenses to law schools, or if a foundation wanted to donate licenses to high schools). This is a great way for a person or a company to support the effort to bring peace officers and the rest of the community closer together. Every licensee also receives complimentary access to all of the online educational materials we create to accompany the film. Encourage your federal, state, and local elected and appointed officials to host a screening of this important film! One of the ways to put L.O.V.E. into action in your own community is to reach out to America s change-makers at the highest levels of government, and encourage them to host a screening of the film for their constituents. At the Keep It Moving Radio Show with Marsha Jews. On the right is Marquis Evans, a real estate investor and resident of Montgomery County, MD. He heard about the film and immediately wanted to contribute. He purchased two licenses to gift to two local neighborhood organizations for their outreach. Thank you, Marquis, for being a Patron of the Hearts, and an ambassador of the WALKING WHILE BLACK: L.O.V.E. Is The Answer film and movement!

LEGAL IS A LICENSE NECESSARY FOR MY ORGANIZATION TO SCREEN THE FILM TO GROUPS? Yes. All group screenings require a license. Adopted in 1976, the US Copyright Act, Title 17 of the United States Code, establishes that the public performance of copyrighted motion pictures and other audiovisual programs that are legally available and intended for personal, private use only, such as DVDs and other digital formats, whether streamed or downloaded, is illegal without a public performance license. This legal requirement applies equally to for and non-profit organizations, even if no admission fee is charged. It does not matter who plans or conducts the exhibition. Please obtain a screening license for your organization today to share this important educational film with your community. YOU can be a part of the solution in your community!
