THE GROWING BUZZ FOR "COUNTDOWN TO ZERO": The New York Times, July 13. "Even more than 'An Inconvenient Truth,' the new film- titled 'Countdown to Zero' ...- is designed to demolish viewer apathy."
 
ADDITIONAL INFO: The film is in the two above-listed Bay Area during this premier engagement. The documentary is slated to continue a limited run at the Shattuck and Embarcadero Center theaters after opening nights, so interested members of the public can attend during the week if they can't make the showings either Friday or Saturday night. However, FREE TICKETS are available only for select Friday and Saturday evening showings.
