That's why I'm fine with just renting it someday when I really want to see it.

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of this particular movie?

I think that's overly cynical. They actually wanted to give the DVD out free to schools directly but were blocked by the oil lobby. This is their Plan B.

This is their privacy statement:

Visitors seeking free movie tickets will not risk their sensitive information by posting to the request form. In particular, last names (except for first-letters-of), phone numbers, and street addresses will never be exposed on the site.

It must also be said that sharethetruth will never spam you, or sell or give away your email address without your consent.

Thank you.

Please pardon my ignorance, but how exactly were they blocked by the oil lobby?

The first link has nothing to do with whether you're a teacher or not. They're giving away free DVDs to anyone who cares to sign up. It's only the 2nd link that "requires" you to be a teacher.

Oops! My mistake. Thanks.

I saw "For teachers only" but didn't realize that that was specific to the second link only.
