Original Message from: Mona LaVine: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Below is our last film for 2005. At the start of 2006 FFP is taking a two month vacation. We hope to start up again in March. We have outgrown our space at EZTV and need to find a new location. Any help with this would be appreciated. We want to stay in Santa Monica or West L.A. area.
=== FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 7:00 PM === Films For Peace presents: "A SCHOOL OF THEIR OWN" (1 hour) In the remote country of Nepal the unique Riverside School educates low-caste and tribal children, 50 percent of whom are girls. There, children flourish in an environment free of the gender prejudice, oppression of the caste system, and abusive teachers found in government schools - and in their society. These children are growing up to create a new Nepali citizen - free of the prejudices that have divided this feudal monarchy. But the school - and children in Nepal - are threatened by a bloody 7-year civil war in which they are caught in the middle. We follow the children's struggle to learn - and we learn that the Maoists in the countryside are conscripting children into their army! Nepal is a country trying to find its way to democracy. FRIDAY DEC. 16 7:00PM EZTV 1629 18th Street, Ste 6 Santa Monica, CA 90404 (access north from Olympic only - parking lot across from Cross Roads school) $5 donation Film-maker Debra Kaufman, who writes for The Hollywood Reporter, supported a child in Nepal for several years before she decided to visit her. This film, a labor of love, allows us to go inside a country seldom seen in the news. After the screening, Ms. Kaufman will lead the discussion, updating the current situation in Nepal and sharing her insights of its people. This is one of the first screenings in Southern California. We are privileged to have the film maker with us. Questions: call Mona at 310-452-9681 . ### ------------------------ Yahoo!
