Thanks for the suggestion Barb. This is indeed an interesting looking film but they are looking for something with the incredibly broad theme of resilience. They group selecting the films are three very strong women and their film selections often end up being about women's issues and/or LGBT issues, although they are certainly not limited by this subject parameter. I have a few ideas lined up already but I was hoping there was something closer to Tig than what I've got already.

What aspects are they interested in? Women, LGBT, disease/disability, comedy...? 65_redroses is about woman with cystic fibrosis connecting with other with CIF. (No standup comedy, that I recall.) http://www.rocoeducational.com/65_red_roses I know there are a couple films about comedians with disabilities, but blanking on titles.

Unfortunately the distributor declined our request. I just watched the trailer and it's fantastic looking, but that is making it that much harder for me to think of an alternative, similarly themed film that we could use in its place. Does anyone on this list have suggestions? Thanks! -lisa H.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
