CDC RECOMMENDS ON THE LAKE!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has included our movie on their recommended list of TB education and training resources.
This is a big honor for us and most of all, a tribute to the men and women who appear in the film and who helped us make it. We thank them once again!
Also, since we last blogged, we've been scheduled for broadcasts in new markets, including Philadelphia and Salt Lake City. And more to come. For details, go to our broadcast schedule page.
We're also starting to show up in other places, including on amazon.com, where a reviewer from Tarpon Springs, Florida recommends the movie highly.
