New Women in Black Film- Sunday, Woodstock!

Don’t miss this fascinating documentary on the 20 year struggle of the largest women’s peace movement in the world.

Award-winning filmmaker, Ellie Bernstein, traveled the world to interview women who have taken to the streets to protest war and violence in all its forms. Archival footage and photos bring the Women in Black story to life.

Local women have been standing in vigils for peace every week for 10 years and they will be honored. There will be a short "slide show" featuring them. Jane Toby, of Woodstock Women in Black, who brought the movement to the Hudson Valley from Verona, Italy and I, from New Paltz Women in Black, will give brief talks. Ellie Bernstein will be available to answer questions.

We are planning some fun surprises too. We will be singing the Women in Black anthem, by composer Shirley Warren of New Paltz Women in Black and everyone will leave with an affirmation citing a gift they have that will contribute to world peace!

Please join us for this celebration of women’s dedication to creating a more just and peaceful world. Go to www.wearestillstanding.com, or write to me at clearstreammedia@gmail.com. You can also sign up here.
