[Reader-list] How someone "well connected" got RIK screening Cancelled

[S.Fatima]

Sorry to butt into this, but maybe calling the police
is a more innocent reaction than getting someone's
screening cancelled and being able to get one's own
film at the exact same time/date/space (IF this claim
is true, that is). 
The rage seems to be on both sides.
