Women
Make Movies: A Response to Hatred
rainydayfilms@y...
Dear
Friends,
The
staff and Board of Directors at Women Make Movies would like to
express our deepest sympathies to the families, friends and victims
of the September 11th tragedy.
As
the nation collectively responds to this horrific event, we have
become increasingly concerned with the violence against Arab-Americans
and Muslims, as well as the alarming trend toward racial profiling.
We believe it is of the utmost importance to sensitize people
about the culture and traditions of the Arab and Muslim community,
both abroad and in the United States, in order to avoid further
prejudicial attacks and denouncements of any one ethnic group.
To accomplish this feat, we believe it is vital to share educational
resources that teach tolerance and an appreciation for cultural
diversity.
At
Women Make Movies we have chosen to contribute to this effort
by providing FREE rentals on a selected group of titles on the
Middle East and Arab culture through December 31, 2001. We simply
ask that those who accept this offer pay the minimum shipping
and handling fees.
It
is our sincere hope that this gesture will assist to humanize
the Arab-American and Muslim community and demonstrate the vast
sources of alternative educational media available to the viewing
public.
To
find out more about the films, go to http://www.wmm.com.
You may also send us an email to orders@wmm.com
to place you order.
