Hello! I'm writing from Women Make Movies, a non-profit organization in New York. I was doing research on various Jewish organizations and came across the Hasafran listserv. I thought members of the list would be interested in one of our newest releases here at WMM. We have had an incredible response from educators and community organizations using this film to spark dialogue. Please help us get the word out about this extraordinary resource. Apologies for any cross-posting. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

As one of this year's most requested educational resources from WMM, MY TERRORIST is essential viewing for generating dialogue surrounding the cycle of violence tormenting the Middle East and the Israeli and Palestinian conflict. Here at WMM, we have witnessed firsthand the power of independent media to provoke discussion and increase awareness on important issues. We would like to support these efforts by offering a special 25% discount to university libraries, educators and community organizations using independent media as a teaching tool for social change. MY TERRORIST <http://www.wmm.com/catalog/pages/c610.htm>http://www.wmm.com/catalog/pages/c610.htm In 1978, filmmaker Yulie Cohen-Gerstel was wounded in a terrorist attack by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. A stewardess for the Israeli airline El Al, she was hijacked along with other crewmembers on their way to a flight in London. In a remarkable twist of fate, twenty-three years later Gerstel began questioning the causes of violence between Israelis and Palestinians and started to consider helping release the man who almost killed her, Fahad Mihyi, a decision which becomes more complicated after September 11. Gerstel believes that forgiveness and an open dialogue are necessary for reconciliation and may help end the vicious cycle of violence that terrorizes the Middle East. This film examines a unique and crucial point of view and is an invaluable resource for any educator or outreach program. *************** WMM CONTACT & ORDERING INFO *************** For further information on this film and our extensive collection of educational resources, please visit <http://www.wmm.com/catalog/catalog.htm>www.wmm.com/catalog/catalog.htm Women Make Movies, 462 Broadway, Suite 503E, New York, NY 10013 P/212.925.0606 x360, F/212.925.2052 <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.wmm.com ********************** ABOUT WMM ***************************** Established in 1972 to address the under-representation and misrepresentation of women in the media, Women Make Movies is the largest distributor of women's films and videos in the world.
