Interview with Cindy and Craig Corrie, devoted parents of 22-year-old American Activist Rachel Corrie, who was run over and killed in the attempt to prevent Israeli bulldozers from destroying Palestinian homes in Gaza in 2003. French Filmmaker Simone Bitton makes an intriquing new film "Rachel" depicting the surrounding events leading up to this tragedy. Interviewed by Wayne Erreca for Traverse City Theatre Scene (7-29-09).
Cindy and Craig are among the most courageous parents I have ever met. Loosing a child is not an easy thing. I think they are making her life and death also an inspiration for many people. Rachel left an impact on all of us in ISM,, I met Rachel only one and a half day before she went to Rafah. She was determined to be there,, I do not think anyone could have managed to convince her not to go. May she rest in peace.

Great subject for an interview. Rachel Corrie's life is an inspiration for all people fighting against colonialism and brutal occupation. I don't think I'd heard of this film before. I hope I have the opportunity to see it sometime here in the East coast.
