Unlike Erin Brockovich , Dunn's film can't offer an easy answer. In fact, both Green and all of the activities Dunn is arranging around the screenings seem more focused on helping audiences try to phrase their frustration into a manageable question. If the film can leave you asking that question, then it's successful, because you're actively engaged in the material. If you're just turned off and overwhelmed in a way that's paralyzing, then I think it fails. But if you're asking yourself where to start, that's the same question I'm asking.
All ages welcome.
