The Show Me True/False film screening was created as a way to honor our Community Partners, and offer community members who have not joined us in the past or are not able to attend the entirety of the fest, the opportunity to experience the Fest and all that it has to offer. As True/False is made possible by the incredible support of our community, and enriched by community partnerships, we are excited to show our deep gratitude through this event.

In the same spirit as the collaborative year-round Show Me series at Ragtag Cinema, Show Me True/False creates space at the Fest for post-film community conversations that transport audiences beyond content to interrogate form and intention, weaving historical contexts with the present. Following the Saturday, March 2 screening of Girls State, the Fest will hold an extended, in person Q&A at Jesse Auditorium at the University of Missouri with the film’s co-directors.
Tickets to that screening will be available to the public for a reduced $5 in order to increase accessibility to the Fest for those who are not otherwise able to attend.

In 2024, we were able to continue our Show Me T/F programming at Columbia Public High Schools with the Show Me T/F Assemblies. Columbia Public Schools has a long history of supporting the Fest. With CPS hosting assemblies at all four Columbia Public High Schools, this is an opportunity for students to learn about the Show Me Series and True/False.
