MissionTrans 610
The ambition of MissionTrans 610 is to get copies of the DVD to 610 men and women of influence around the world.
Purchase a sponsored DVD from the Supplies page. The package will be sent to your selected recipient on your behalf.
Transmission 6-10 discusses an important subject that requires an active audience to make a difference. It is broadcasting in a number of formats, allowing it to be available to everyone and anyone.
There are numerous individuals that T610 feel have an affinity to the project, either by virtue of their profession or projects that they have worked on – some have simply inspired. It is the intention of T610 to get copies of the DVD to these people, but help is needed to achieve this.
By raising the profile of the film, and therefor its content, the situation in China can no-longer be ignored.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Sponsor a DVD to be sent to someone from the list below, or a favourite celebrated individual of your choice (the list will be updated to reflect additions). Compose a paragraph in your order form describing why you have personally selected them to receive a copy of the film, and it will be included in the covering letter.
Example:
To Mr Spielberg,
I’ve long admired your skills as a movie maker, and in Schindler’s List you crafted a film which explored the most harrowing of times and brought it to the attention of a new generation. “Never again” was repeated around the world after the holocaust. The DVD i’ve sponsored to send you clearly highlights that this statement has been forgotten.
Yours sincerely, Jon Doe, New Zealand.
If a reply is received, a PDF of the response will be emailed to you as a memento of the valuable contribution you have made to a worthy cause.
