No Twilight for Award-Winning Indie Doc: Wal-Mart has "Dare Not Walk Alone" on Sale

For those who thought twilight might fall on this project we have news: Dare Not Walk Alone is very much alive, and available again from the world's largest retailer. This is a great opportunity to spread the word about the film and expand informed dialog about race in America. Here's a link to order at Walmart.com.

We see the fact that Wal-Mart is helping this effort as a very hopeful sign. Maybe if lots of people buy the film from WalMart it will help pave the way for more independent films.

Depending on where you live there may be free shipping or free in-store pickup (at your nearest Walmart). As you can see the price is VERY affordable. At this rate we will have to sell tens of thousands of copies to pull the project out of the red, but let's be real here, you don't get involved with a project like this unless you are a serious optimist.

And stranger things have happened. Think of the millions of young people who have bought, or talked their parents into buying Twilight on DVD for twice the price of Dare Not Walk Alone. Surely some percentage of those New Moon werewolf/vampire fans also want to uncover the truth about how bravely youths of a different generation fought, in the real world, risking real beatings and worse to win equal rights for all?
