Why can’t Witnesses be screened for free?

Post by I Have Questions »

There are just two days left, including today, to take advantage of the opportunity to view the 2021 Interpreter Foundation dramatic film Witnesses at no charge, which you can do here: https://vimeo.com/824199556/ecefc622ed. On Thursday, 10 October, when Six Days in August opens in theaters, that window of opportunity closes. I would, frankly, love to make Witnesses freely available all the time. And, someday, we’ll do that. But not for quite a while. In the meantime, we’re bound by contractual obligations not to do so.

What contractual obligations would prevent Witnesses being screened for free now? Its long after the release, it’s not in theatres, nobody is buying the DVD, so nobody is seeing the movie that Peterson claims has been produced with the direct objective of having as many people see it as possible?

Who holds the contract?
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

I’m just happy it was made available for free. Pretty cool. I hope lots of people watched it.
