Appalled\, he felt compelled to make this powerful documentary that testifies to the contemporary rea lities behind the historical fiction. The film opens in the ancient temp le city of Vrindavan with striking images of thousands of widows living in poverty. It then travels to rural villages to hear from women beginni ng to organize for their rights and to New Delhi to listen to war widows . In a country in which sophisticated urban lifestyles and ancient rural traditions co-exist\, Mehta understands the power of light and composit ion to tell a story and brings his photographer's eye to every frame of this film. Although he claims no overt political agenda\, the stories an d images he captures raise a powerful call for change. \n-Lynne Fernie CATEGORIES:Documentary Feature LOCATION:Princess Cinema URL:http://nonviolence.bside.com/2008/films/theforgottenwoman_nonviolence 2008 UID:157654661-nonviolence.bside.com/2008 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20091122T115635Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20080913T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20080913T143000 SUMMARY:Knowledge Is The Beginning - Daniel Barenboim And The West-Easter n Divan Orchestra DESCRIPTION:For many years\, conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim has w orked towards reconciling Arabs and Israelis. Based on the notion that ' music is the language of peace\,' Barenboim and comparative literature p rofessor Edward Said brought together Arab and Israeli musicians\, to pe rform in Weimar on the 250th anniversary of the birth of Goethe. Also pa rticipating in this bold experiment in 1999 was Yo-Yo Ma. The West-Easte rn Divan Orchestra\, a name derived from a collection of poems by Goethe \, today embraces eighty Arab and Israeli musicians aged thirteen to twe nty-six. Director Paul Smaczny has followed the orchestra since its ince ption. The film chronicles all five summer workshops in Weimar and Sevil le\, Barenboim's visit to Ramallah and Jerusalem in May 2004 - during wh ich he received the prestigious Wolf Prize at the Knesset - as well as t he sensational concert in Ramallah in August 2005.

Donald (Barr y Primus) promises Sam (Charlie Robinson). This seems unlikely\, given t hat both are homeless men mired in the bleak landscape of Los Angeles' S kid Row. Moreover\, the source of Donald's optimism is a mere $20 bill ( a Jackson) which he skillfully bummed off a passing businessman (Steve G uttenberg). But Donald vows that with it they can go anywhere and do any thing and drags the reluctant Sam off in search of great adventure.JACKS ON\, directed by J.F. Lawton\, spans a single day that turns into a cold \, rainy night. Fueled by their 'ability to pay\,' not to mention bottle s of Thunderbird\, Donald and Sam adventure through a world of humor\, p hilosophy\, danger and hope. In the most unusual aspect of the film\, th eir story is accented by other down-and-out characters who express thems elves by singing some of the world's greatest opera arias. From an old d runk (Richard Brown) singing a Donizetti duet with a crack addict (Shawn ette Sulker)\, to a bag-lady (Ella Lee Romani) singing Carmen\, these su rreal musical sequences stand apart from\, but enrich Donald and Sam's j ourney. What begins as a simple tale about the friendship of two bums be comes a story about the beauty and resilience of the human spirit.

The international campaign for clemency to save him from death by lethal injection ended on December 13\, 2005\, at 12: 35 a.m.\, when he was pronounced dead after clemency was denied by Calif ornia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. TRIBUTE includes scenes from a sta ged reenactment of that execution. The reenactment--as well as TRIBUTE-- were produced and directed by writer Barbara Becnel and producer Shirley Neal\, longtime friends of Stanley Tookie Williams. It was based on the ir real-life experience at San Quentin's death chamber witnessing his bo tched execution--it took him 35 minutes to die. The two women filmed the staged reenactment\, enabling TRIBUTE to offer a very intimate view of capital punishment. 'We created and staged a play that replicated the ex ecution because we wanted people to see exactly what the State of Califo rnia does in the middle of the night in the name of the people of the St ate of California\,' explains Barbara Becnel. TRIBUTE includes provocati ve eulogies by Snoop Dogg\, Tony Robbins and Louis Farrakhan--speaking a t the memorial service of Stanley Tookie Williams--and never-before-seen footage of his ashes scattered by Becnel and Neal in Soweto\, South Afr ica. This was his last wish.

Th e viewer goes on an exciting adventure through band camp\, auditions\, t he marching season\, and the regional and national competitions in 2006. You see the great rewards of disciplined practice\, the overlooked tech nical artistry of the group endeavor\, and the important life changing e ffects of instrumental music education. Another layer delves into the mi sconceptions about marching band\, showing band kids in a whole new ligh t. The primary vehicle to tell the story is the Centerville (Ohio) High School marching band from suburban Dayton\, the former Grand National Ch ampions. Recognizing that all bands\, big and small\, do amazing things\ , the film also portrays the band at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles\ , which has just recently started up again after being silenced for 18 y ears due to music budget cuts. One wonders what music was lost forever d uring the silent years at schools nationwide affected by cutbacks. This film tells the memorable story of the importance of instrumental music education\, complete with the never-before seen emotional aspects of the experience. The students at the schools are wonderful subjects and thei r personal stories genuine and compelling. Nowhere else do you see hundr eds of teenagers working together in such unison and commitment for one common goal. The film is part drama\, comedy\, music video\, reality sho w\, and full-on entertainment.
