Filmmakers Ballentine & Maddy Purves will be at the screening as part of their independent release of the film in major U.S. cities in collaboration with local activist efforts and key players.
Of particular significance to the event will be American icon T.R. Reid, who will conduct a post-viewing discussion with his internationally-recognized expert perspective as a healthcare journalist, author, and fellow filmmaker.
Dr. Joseph Q. Jarvis, a subject of the film and who has previously served in Colorado in the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment as well as on the board of the Colorado Public Health Association, will be a panelist alongside Ballentine and fellow subject Tsukuru Fors, a cross-interest activist from California.
The film will be introduced by the filmmakers and local host Lydia Guzman of Health Care for All Colorado, who plans to recognize Rep. Boesenecker of the Colorado General Assembly for his work on House Bill 23-1209. Other high-profile attendees include former state Senator Jeanne Nicholson and the board of the Colorado Foundation for Universal Healthcare.
Join the filmmakers and activists for a special screening of the new documentary Healing US at 6:00pm MST on Tuesday, July 18th at the Alamo Drafthouse, 4255 West Colfax Avenue, Denver, CO. Members of the media and press are invited.
