For those of you who either can't make it to any of the 'Ask Not' screenings or can't wait until June to watch the somewhat truncated version of the documentary on PBS, Ask Not is available on DVD as of...well, a month ago, actually. I will say that the documentary captures Servicemembers United's message quite well, and is very useful for convincing those straggling friends of yours who don't understand why it's so important to push for DADT repeal. Go back a few posts and you'll catch my admittedly biased semi-review of the doc. For more thorough reviews, just google 'Ask Not' and 'Johnny Symons' (the director), and you should get a better picture of exactly how powerful the film is.
If and when you're ready to buy the DVD, it's available at http://asknotfilm.com/anordertwo/. For public/school copies for mass screenings, the best thing to do is to contact Johnny directly, here: info@persistent-visions.com.
As far as future screenings go, I believe a few weeks before the doc launces on PBS there will be a nationwide screening at 50 theatres to promote the film. More on that later.
Seriously, this film is incredibly powerful, and one more useful tool in the fight against DADT.

Awesome! Thanks for the reminder, Jarrod, I just bought it. I've been so busy with this new project that it's been crazy trying to remember things...
Hey, When can I watch it on PBS? I'm too paranoid to buy it and have it used as evidence later in life.
