A Documentary about Women In Black
Using documentary material from conferences, vigils and testimonies as well as archival footage and photos, I tell the story of the 20 years of constant struggle of the International movement of Women in Black. From its inception in Israel in 1988, when Israeli activists took to the streets to oppose the Military Occupation of Palestine and to stand in solidarity with their Palestinian sisters, the Movement has been active in women's resistance to war, militarism, fundamentalism and discrimination. To this day, women throughout the world struggle to build ties of solidarity across the confines of social, ethnic and religious boundaries.

My passion to film international Women in Black has taken me to Israel on two separate occasions --in 2003 and in 2006 -- the second time, after the Israel Lebanon war, when I filmed the Women in Black of Haifa and Nazareth. I filmed the Women in Black of Belgrade and traveled with them on their fantastic bus ride to the 12th International Women in Black Conference in Italy. In Columbia, I traveled with the courageous Women in Black of the Ruta Pacifica as they made their way through dangerous roads to support the women in Choco. I also filmed the "Wheel" Women in Black in Seattle Washington, in their incredible support for homeless women and men and I have just returned from filming the inspiring conference in Valencia.

It would be my desire to film all the international groups of Women in Black - but budget constraints have not allowed me to do so. If you or your group would like to be included in the documentary, please send me your DVD's or photos-and I will try my utmost to use your materials for the film.
