Here’s another informative and engaging program that I hope to do again, using a documentary film as the starting point, in this case ‘End Game.’ Please take - either intact for free, open source, creative commons - or build on the idea.
Reporting in pictures: Excellent brunch, people, connections, and contact hours made possible by End Game - FREE!
