QUESTION: Films to get out to be referenced in order to get out to a wider audience

question / pregunta: 

As an independent filmmaker, how would I get my film out to a wider audience. It's well researched, packed with information and delivers it to people in a way that doesn't make them depressed. I've been touring with it, and people continually say, "This needs to get out. You need to get the word out." (Yes, I'm trying...) I'd be happy to send a copy to all the radical reference site. There's also info online at consideringdemocracy.com. (I traveled around the world and asked people quite a lot of questions to see what they thought, then researched it to see if it was true. It seeks to get information to people before the elections so that we can have more informed debate. It also it a tool for others to screen in nationwide screening parties so that we can bridge the gap of information between the polarized sides.) How to get the word out?

QUESTION: Mercury Preservative in Vaccines and Autism

question / pregunta: 

A friend recently asked me about the alleged link between vaccines and autism, alerting me to suggestions that a rise in autism rates is due to mercury-containing preservatives in some vaccines.

QUESTION: Anti-Nazi 'Swing Youth'

question / pregunta: 

Hello!

I am looking for a certain article about youth subculture in nazi Germany. I have stumbled across this site while looking for it as somebody had already requested it here.

This is it:
Beck, Earl. "The Anti-Nazi 'Swing Youth,' 1942-45." Journal of Popular Culture 19, no. 3 (1985): 45-53

My university library does offer on-line access to this publication, but I can't seem to be able to get my proquest password to work. I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me the article.

Best regards
