We at Mental Rev are very excited about our distribution plan for The Third Wave.  Our goals are multi-tiered, but we will try to provide a brief overview of the first tier of our overall goal. 
We feel this film is best used in a class room setting.  We are not concentrating exclusively on the number of people who see the film, although that is important, but rather how we can get this film into an environment of critical discussion and debate. The class room is an interesting and, in our experience, proven setting for intellectual fervor. So we want to get DVDs into the hands of people who will show the film in a class room setting, and who will provide a stimulating environment for critical thought.
The first goal is to raise money to send DVDs to every Women’s Studies Department in the country, around 434 in total, with a letter encouraging professors to show the film in class and facilitate discussion. Furthermore the first tier of our goal involves printing an additional 70 DVDs to send to strategic student groups, with a letter encouraging more public screenings.

Over 1,200 groups and organizations either contributed to the rally, or sent folks to the March for Women's Lives. The second tier of our goal is to get DVDs to each of these groups, with a letter encouraging public screenings and thanks for their efforts.

In order to pay a frugal salary for the Directors and Producers, as well as cover the remaining Production, Printing and Equipment costs to reach our first goal we need to raise $10,000. If this plan has merit to you, then please make a small contribution. You can simply click the donate button on the bottom of the page. If you or your organization is interested in making a fairly substantial donation, have any questions, or are interested in becoming an Associate Producer please contact cutcher@ohio.edu or roger@mentalrev.com
