There is no cover charge to see the film's though participants are asked to consider leaving a donation to cover costs.

McLaughlin concluded, "'The Greening of Cuba' is an heroic story of how a small island came back from the brink of destruction to become a thriving and vibrant self-sustaining community. It provides us all with with real life possibilities of how a people acting in unison for the benefit of all can achieve great things".
