Home Viewing
...of a film about global warming & what we can do about it

“Home Viewing” means just what it says: watching a film in your own home. We’re spending a year trying to get as many people as possible to see Al Gore’s Oscar-winning film An Inconvenient Truth. It’s on DVD, lasts for 90 minutes. We’ve also got videos of David Attenborough’s one-hour film Climate Change: Britain under Threat. People who have seen it can borrow a film from us to lend to friends. Both are challenging films, full of fascinating detail about climate change.

 

Here’s how the scheme works
(the diagram shows the plan of campaign):
  • Our Coordinator works with volunteer ‘LCC Contacts’.
  • Each Contact has a supply of the films and lends them out to his/her group of ‘Borrowers’.
  • Each Borrower can then do one of two things:
    • watch the film, then lend it to a friend; suggest that they pass it on to someone else when they’ve seen it (and so on, and so on).
      or
    • invite a few friends in and watch the film together. (Either film gives people plenty to talk about.) See if one of the others will borrow it, either for a home viewing of their own or to watch it and lend as above.
  • If possible, the Borrower passes on the film, together with instructions on how to proceed (these are on a slip inside the film box).
  • The Borrower then rings their Contact as soon as possible to say:
    • how many people have seen the film;
    • if the film is passed on, who has it now;
      or, if not,
    • to arrange to return it.
  • The Contacts keep a tally of the viewer total and pass this to the Coordinator.
  • It’s the Contact’s job to try to keep as many as possible of the films ‘out’ to Borrowers. But at any time they can return the films to the Coordinator and stop being a Contact.
