AFI Dallas Review: Knocking
Cinematical, CA - 17 minutes ago
The documentary Knocking, which screened at AFI Dallas, is all about the Jehovah's Witnesses -- but never slides into preachiness or snarkiness.
MANY PBS STATIONS WON'T SHOW KNOCKING !

I just read through several of the comments that have been posted on the Independant Lens talkback forum.
The comments which are submitted are being screened and I have seen one response which is negative or critical.
All the other responses are quite positive and are being submitted by JW's.
I think that some great points have been raised in regards to freedom of speech working both ways.
I DO think it is very important for you guys to submit your thoughts and experiences to IL, as there are already a few on there which have given me the impression that this movie has done exactly what it set out to do, soften people's hearts and make the JW's seem like a great, harmless religion.
This movie has every right to be seen, but our voices have every right to be heard. So, if you can, please submit your comments and if you dont see them, write IL and tell them!!
Just my thoughts on this, take it or leave it.

Thanks for the heads up.

Would it be reasonable to ask someone to produce a "Counter-Knocking" docudrama, featuring Ex-jdubyas with their horror stories?
Perhaps this could be worked on for an aposta-festive occasion.

I think this is a good idea. I think that someone was tossing around the idea a few months back.
I would do it, if I had a quality cam. So, if anyone wants to donate one......

I do think this PBS documentary (yes, I've seen it) will cause people to listen to JWs when they call at their door next time, and that's all JWs need...and you know the rest of the story. Unfortunately, many are not "internet" people so only will end up listening to JWs.
