“Capitalism: A Love Story” Free Screening Tonight

Filed under: All, Entertainment, Free, Out on the Town

This is exciting, though I am a little sad that they’re not doing a free screening here, because the boyfriend and I are very interested in seeing this documentary.

Michael Moore’s new documentary Capitalism: A Love Story, opens tomorrow across the United States. Because of this, Michael has set up a little treat: free screenings in select cities. Here’s what he said about it:

To kick off the national release of “Capitalism: A Love Story,” I’ve asked the studio to offer a number of screenings in the nation’s hardest hit cities — the ones with the highest unemployment rates and highest foreclosure rates — where those who’ve lost their jobs or who are in foreclosure (or have already been evicted) may attend my film free of charge. They’ve agreed, and so tonight (Thursday), the night before our opening day, ten cities will grant you free admission if you have fallen on hard times. The list of theaters and cities is below. You don’t need to bring any “proof” of your situation — just show up — it’s the honor system, no questions asked.

The cities included are as follows:

Las Vegas, Nevada
Phoenix, Arizona
Fresno, California
Saginaw, Michigan
Raleigh, North Carolina
Tampa, Florida
Elkhart, Indiana
Baltimore, Maryland
Cleveland, Ohio
Peoria, Illinois

Now these are for specific theaters and specific times, so make sure to go to the right theater at the right time to get in for free. There are also benefit screenings going on tonight in five cities–you have to pay to go to these, but it benefits select organizations, and info about that can also be found here.

It’s hard to gauge how popular these screenings are, but I would recommend getting there early, or even calling the theater to see what their recommendation is. If you’re new to advanced movie screenings, check out my tips.
