Global Tour Update: "The Coddling" Movie in France!
Five nations, 60 locations, and counting
Yikes! Our slightly-insane 60% off sale ends at midnight tonight! Just $2.40 per month (or $24 per year) gets you bonus posts and videos, full access to archives, and the documentary Film Threat calls “Great, important, and eye-opening.”
I’m pleased to report that The Coddling movie recently screened in France!
Team Coddling Movie is grateful to the Université d'Orléans and Dean-Liathine McDonald for making it happen.
That means that what we envisioned as a U.S. tour has now expanded into five nations (U.S., Canada, England, Australia, and France) and more than 60 locations and counting.
Alas, Courtney and I couldn’t make the trip to France, but we’ve participated in many screenings including at Harvard, Cornell, Palo Alto, New York City (twice, once with Jonathan Haidt), Duke, UCLA, CU Boulder, Wake Forest, Pepperdine, and Princeton.
Courtney and I want to say thanks to all of our subscribers and especially our paid subscribers who do so much to keep our tour going and going and going.
And it’s not just the tour, we’re always looking for new ways to reach Gen Zers, their parents, and anyone who cares about the future of our nation.
We’d love to get the movie into freshman orientation programs. We want to sponsor watch parties for students. We want to bring the movie to high schools. We’ve started bringing it to homeschoolers (a cause close to my heart).
And of course, we’re always looking to improve our subscribers’ experience right here on Substack.
But as for the global tour, the requests just keep coming.
Yesterday, we received one from Wabash College in Indiana, and we’ve just been contacted by an organization that wants to host special screenings at theaters in college towns throughout Missouri.
Other recent screening locations include Santa Barbara (a Princeton alumni event), Vanderbilt, USC, and McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
Recently, our pal
hosted a screening in Oakland for DEI professionals.Plenty of special events happen at movie theaters, including a recent one held northwest of Minneapolis.
It was spearheaded by Kim Mellem, and the Parents Alliance group in Anoka Hennepin, which is home to the largest school district in the state (35,000 students).
Another theater special event took place in Bedford, New York where the multi-talented
of fame reports that they sold out the theater, which he tells me is rare for that venue.Says Brent: “Highly intelligent, curious, attentive audience members for most of whom this subject matter was new. They asked thoughtful questions and were engaged throughout. Panelists were superb.”
I’m not surprised. It was an excellent lineup. Thanks to FAIR, Braver Angels, and Halston Media News putting it all together.
We’re grateful to all of you and to all of our partners. Our list of partners is long and growing and includes: FIRE, Heterodox Academy, FAIR, Princetonians for Free Speech, Vanderbilt Free Speech Summit, Pepperdine Dialogue Dinners, Harvard Undergraduates for Academic Freedom, Cornell University’s Freedom & Free Societies Program, Classical Liberalism Initiative at Stanford University, Whig Clio, California State University System for Academic Freedom, Substack Inc., Blue Ridge Center, Benson Center, and Braver Angels.
Now I need to screen it here at home Switzerland! 🇨🇭
