Screenings of Tribe of Heart films can be held in as small a space as your living room. All it takes is a television, a VCR or DVD player, and a quiet setting.
Larger scale events take more preparation and planning, but also offer a proportionally larger impact.
The four steps below will orient you to the process of holding a public screening event, and will give you the tools you need to achieve success.
Step 1:
Read our Screening Guidelines
Step 2:
Read our Step-by-Step Guide to holding a screening in your community
Step 3:
Go to our Downloadable Resources page for materials that can support your screening efforts
Step 4:
Join our Heart2Heart email discussion list to get your questions answered or to learn from the experiences of others who have already held screenings
Here are some comments from those who have held a screening of their own:
"People I didn't know came up to me afterwards with newfound awareness and thanked me with tears in their eyes."
"Every time we give a showing, people stay around afterward and talk about it. They have been influenced and it is so exciting to hear what they are feeling."
"One message I took away is that it doesn't take a huge organization in order to make a big difference. I've also realized how powerful it can be to show a really well made film in order to get people to start considering the possibility that animals should be included in the sphere of moral concern."

One of the messages people take away from our documentaries is that one person can make a difference, and nearly every day here at Tribe of Heart we are reminded that it's true!
We hear from people all over the country and around the world who are sharing our films in their communities with friends, family members, co-workers, teachers, students, legislators, and with the members of all kinds of social and service organizations.
The venues for these screenings have ranged from people's homes to college classrooms to libraries and coffee houses and independent movie theaters. Audiences have been as small as a handful, and as large as several hundred.
Holding a screening of a Tribe of Heart film creates a rare opportunity for positive dialogue in the community on the ethics of the human-animal relationship, and promotes contemplation of some of our most cherished human values -- respect, fairness, non-violence, and compassion.
Peaceable Kingdom on Hold
Tribe of Heart is currently working on a revision of Peaceable Kingdom. In anticipation of the release of this substantially updated film, we are no longer granting permission for screenings of PK in venues that hold 100 or more people. We are also asking that smaller-scale screenings not be publicized beyond emails and web sites, as this could potentially interfere with our launch of the newer film later this year.
We encourage people who want to hold screenings of any size during this transition period to consider holding a screening of The Witness.
