Race to Nowhere ARCH was pleased to be host a screening of Race to Nowhere last month. The movie was SOLD OUT in advance. ARCH welcomed over 100 people to watch this provocative movie. Afterwards there was time for audience reaction, reflection and sharing of personal experiences. It was community exchange at its best. Several Race to Nowhere screenings were held in our area over the last year. It is our understanding that this phase of distribution is over. Please consult the Race to Nowhere website for information about the future of this effort. http://www.racetonowhere.com/
