[Sosfbay-discuss] Climate Change Movie

[Andrea Dorey]

I'm really glad I went to see The Reckoning on Wednesday night.  I  
now have a new hero:  Go get 'em,  Ocampo!
I also plan to be there Friday night and Saturday night.  Two good  
movies!  Nice venues, too.
Thanks for the heads-up notice from the two HC members.
