VEILED VOICES
Description/Listing:
Women across the Arab world are redefining their role as leaders in Islam. Veiled Voices investigates the world of Muslim women religious leaders through the eyes of three women in Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt. Shot over the course of two years, Veiled Voices reveals a world
rarely documented, exploring both the public and private lives of these women. The stories feature in the film give insight into how Muslim women are now increasingly willing to challenge the status quo from within their religion, promoting Islam as a powerful force for positive transformation in the world. Each triumphs over difficult challenges as they carve out a space to lead- both in Islam and in their communities. Veiled Voices profiles three influential women- along with their families and the communities they serve: Ghina Hammoud in Lebanon, Dr. Suad Saleh in Egypt, and Huda al-Habash in Syria.

Description/Listing:
This one-hour documentary chronicles the controversial life of author Julia Peterkin, a Pulitzer
Prize winner for her sensitive portrayal of rural African Americans of the 1920s. Hailed by W.E.B. Du Bois for her eye and ear to see beauty and hear truth, this white plantation mistress shattered stereotypes of race and gender before she inexplicably stopped writing at the height of her career.

BOYFRIENDS
Description/Listing:
For one hour, viewers go inside the world of five teenage girls from North Texas as they navigate the joys and sorrows of their romantic relationships over the course of one year. The young women featured in the documentary openly discuss their hopes and fears, choices of sex or abstinence, dependence and independence and their dreams for the future. They may hail from different economic, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, yet their stories share a striking commonality.
