Re: [Videolib] Recommendations for videos on America and the Holocaust

2014-08-07 Thread Nina Riddel
Hi Debra, 

 

We have a film about Holocaust museums in the US that may be of use:

 

The http://icarusfilms.com/new2003/holo.html  Holocaust Experience

 

Sixty years after WWII, how do we keep the memory of the Holocaust alive?
This is the central question in THE HOLOCAUST EXPERIENCE, which moves
between two extremes: the sober, eloquent ruins of the concentration camp at
Auschwitz-Birkenau and the noisy, hyper-realistic holocaust museums of
America.

 

In the State Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum in Poland, a bitter battle is being
fought with time. One by one, the concrete poles that surrounded the
prisoners are being restored: five thousand poles with barbed wire.
Everything here should stay the way it was, one of the workmen says
dutifully. That turns out to be an impossible goal.

 

Some places in the camp, where great horrors took place, are already
overgrown with weeds. At the same time, there is another dilemma: where does
the camp end and the ordinary world start? What should be protected and
preserved, and what shouldn't?

 

While Auschwitz wrestles with its mortality, the virtual Auschwitz exhibits
in American holocaust museums are all the rage. Visitors to the Beit Hashoah
Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles who take a Holocaust day out can, at the
end of the day, enter a mock gas chamber.

 

The Americans also use authentic material. Cases, striped prisoner's suits
and even a complete shed have been transported from Europe to America, where
they are meticulously conserved and put on show. The United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. has even imported the cut hair of people
who were gassed at Auschwitz-Birkenau, but the exhibition faced moral
objections.

 

This documentary investigates how the memory of the Holocaust is kept alive
on both sides of the Atlantic. Both human effort and human impotence are
tangible, as this history is preserved for future generations.

Re: [Videolib] women's repro rights - films

2014-08-01 Thread Nina Riddel
Hi Lorraine  videolibbers!

 

We have a few films that might fit the bill:

 

CASTING THE FIRST http://www.icarusfilms.com/cat97/a-e/casting_.html
STONE focuses on six women who regularly confront each other from opposite
sides of a police barricade. Three believe that abortion is an inalienable
right. Three consider it murder. 

 

Shelley Miller, director of the Women's Suburban Clinic in Paoli,
Pennsylvania, endures constant harassment from anti-abortion groups camped
outside her doors. Joan Scalia, a Catholic mother of six, defies her husband
to join Operation Rescue's efforts. Sharon Owens, clinic counselor and
adoptive mother of three, is closer to the middle. She cannot decide when
human life begins, but feels required - as a Christian - to serve others who
must.

 

As it chronicles the daily lives of these and the other women, the camera
records anti-abortion blockades, counseling sessions, a visit with a young
mother the protesters persuaded to have her baby, and Planned Parenthood's
emergency board meetings after the Supreme Court's historic Webster v.
Missouri decision. Rare in giving equal voice to both sides, Casting the
First http://www.icarusfilms.com/cat97/a-e/casting_.html  Stone is among
the most insightful documents of the abortion struggle ever made. 

 

If you can use only one film or tape about abortion, this is the one to
choose. - Professor Virginia Yans McGlaughlin, Rutgers University

 http://www.icarusfilms.com/new99/drspence.html DEAR DR SPENCER

 

From the early 1920s until his death in 1969, Dr. Robert Douglas Spencer
practiced medicine in a small town in the anthracite coal region of
Pennsylvania. Dr. Spencer treated colds, set fractures, and provided basic
medical care. But he was unique. He performed illegal abortions.

 

Dr. Spencer performed his first abortion, his patient a poor coal miner's
wife, in 1923. Soon after, the doctor's reputation spread. He began
receiving letters from women across the country, asking, sometimes pleading,
for his help. Ashland, Pennsylvania, a town of church-goers, grateful to him
for his dedication to the mining community, quietly allowed the doctor to
practice. The citizens seemed to ignore the steady stream of young women
going to and from his office, the out of state license plates, the
ever-increasing number of one-night guests at the town's hotel. They even
protected him each time the state police tried to shut his practice down.
Dr. Spencer was arrested three times but never convicted. Historians
estimated that he performed more than 40,000 safe abortions during the
course of his career.

Powerfully evokes what life without legal abortion would be like.-Liz

I have a professor who is looking primarily for documentaries (not classroom
teaching videos or instructional aids) that features conflicted situations
being resolved through mediation or settlement rather than litigation or
suing.  Any suggestions appreciated.  In addition, disputes involving
countries or multinationals are not what she is looking for.  She is looking
for films that feature people not peace negotiations.  Matthew
