I think the Placebo should host it some time in the next year - we're bound to get a different audience. Maybe we could combine it with music from some of the people featured - or from other musicians of color. (I would really have liked to have more music in the film, but that would've meant less time listening to the people, so I can totally understand why the director made the decisions he did.) I'd be willing to try to set it up a showing (for 6 months from now, maybe?), find out how much it would cost, etc. Anyway, <a href="http://www.afropunk.com" rel="nofollow">Afro-Punk</a> totally renewed my love for the scene and my desire to make the Placebo a home for as many people who want/need it.
