Finding Our Voices - new DVD

Eight stories of civil dissent and resistance are woven together in 80 minutes of action to remind us that passionate individuals can take stands to persuade others to follow. Here, to follow means to join the growing chorus of voices calling US troops out of Iraq, by marching, talking, writing, in vigils and lobbying.

Some have been at it for decades, but most have found their voices in response to the invasion of Afghanistan and the occupation of Iraq. Most of the names and groups are familiar in progressive and peace circles, Adele Welty and September Eleventh Families for a Peaceful Tomorrow, Gael Murphy and Code Pink, U.S. Representative Jim Moran, Brady Kiesling who resigned from the State Department in 2003, soldiers refusing to return to Iraq like John Bruhns and Camilo Mejia, Rev.Graylan Hagler. But their stories are well captured and woven together over a number of years. Produced by Dream Catcher Films, Inc. of Huntington Vermont, President Holly Stadtler would like to get the DVD circulating in time to raise the anti for the 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.

It would work well for an FOR Chapter meeting, a neighborhood house party, a campus or church gathering. Use it to encourage friends to join you in Washington, D.C. on March 7th for the Interfaith Peace Witness. To request a copy go to a very good web site: www.findingourvoices.com .
