Cinema Politica has adopted The Secret Trial 5 into their Adopt-A-Doc program! CP will be assisting us in our crowdfunding campaign with fundraising screenings and support from chapters across Canada!

Why is Cinema Politica such an amazing organization?
Cinema Politica is a grassroots non-profit network that screens independent political films in community settings for pay-what-you-can donations. It is the largest volunteer-run, community and campus-based documentary-screening network in the world. As CP states "We believe in the power of art to not only entertain but to engage, inform, inspire, and provoke social change."
We are honoured and excited about this partnership. Find out more about Cinema Politica and the great work that they do: www.cinemapolitica.org

"Cinema Politica successfully delivers independent art to the eyes and ears of the public."

Hey ST5 Crowd,
Our project is being featured by the fantastic project THE CUBAN HAT PITCH. Canadian filmmakers submit short, one-shot video pitches and winners are selected by the number of votes they receive. Five finalists will be invited to present their projects during the closing night of Doc Circuit Montreal at RIDM (Montreal International Documentary Festival), with a chance to win cash or services to help make their film. A jury will provide feedback at the event, which will be live-streamed allowing the international community to participate.
PLEASE HELP SHOW CUBAN HAT THAT THIS FILM NEEDS TO GET MADE.
