![[Linked Image]](http://www.sjiff.org/sjiff09/films/moviestills/Dtour.jpg) Hello Miami area friends. We wanted to let you know that a documentary film called D-TOUR will be screened in the Miami area a few times in the next week. D-TOUR follows Pat Spurgeon, whose promising indie-rock career as a member of the band Rogue Wave suffers an incredible setback when one of his kidneys begins to fail. D-Tour chronicles Pat's search for a living organ donor and the challenges associated with finding a viable match. Pat's choice to keep touring and working toward the band’s goals is put to the test; the absolute need to perform dialysis daily and to focus on his health became top priority while being on the road. D-Tour also addresses issues with the health care system, the lack of affordable insurance, and the importance of organ donation. D-TOUR Monday, September 21, 2009 at 5:40 PM

Future of Music Coalition began studying this issue early in the decade, and launched its Health Insurance Navigation Tool (HINT) in 2005 to help musicians better understand their health insurance options. HINT doesn't sell insurance, but instead provides information for working musicians, for free. In addition to musician-friendly articles on the website, HINT offers confidential phone consultations, during which musicians can go over their options on a case-by-case, state-by-state basis with a health insurance expert who is also a musician. FMC staff will be on hand at other screenings of D-Tour to discuss the program. Additional screening dates for D-Tour: http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/d-tour/getinvolved.html FMC's HINT program: http://futureofmusic.org/issues/campaigns/get-hint![[Linked Image]](http://www.futureofmusic.org/files/summit09_500x200_still.jpg) Also, we're just three weeks away from the eighth Future of Music Policy Summit, set for October 4-6, 2009 in Washington, DC. Over the course of three days, through panel discussions, keynotes and breakout sessions, we'll be tackling some of the most thought-provoking and timely issues at the intersection of music, law, technology and policy. Speakers include: Senator Al Franken, Mike Mills from R.E.M., Daniel Ek from Spotify, Jim Selby from Naxos, jazz pianist Vijay Iyer, singer songwriter Nicole Atkins, US Copyright Office General Counsel David Carson, Google's Johanna Shelton, Rep. Mike Doyle, Jim Griffin from Choruss, and dozens more!
