MARIA IN NOBODY'S LAND <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c840.shtml>

MARIA IN NOBODY'S LAND is an unprecedented and intimate look at the illegal 
and extremely dangerous journey of three Salvadoran women to the United 
States, through Mexican territory. Doña Inés, a 60 year old woman, has been 
looking for her daughter for five years and is following the same route her 
daughter took while crossing Mexico en route to America. Marta and Sandra, 
tired of the violence from their husbands and wanting to overcome poverty, 
decide to leave their families behind to travel to America - with only thirty 
dollars in their pockets. During their harrowing journey, the three women 
encounter prostitution, slave trade, rape, kidnapping and even death, in an 
unwavering quest for a better life.

AFTER THE RAPE: THE MUKHTAR MAI STORY

In 2002, Mukhtar Mai, a rural Pakistani woman from a remote part of the 
Punjab, was gang-raped by order of her tribal council as punishment for her 
younger brother’s alleged relationship with a woman from another clan. 
Instead of committing suicide or living in shame, Mukhtar spoke out, fighting 
for justice in the Pakistani courts—making world headlines. Further defying 
custom, she started two schools for girls in her village and a crisis center 
for abused women.
 
List Price: $295.00 | Sale Price: $147.50

PUSHING THE ELEPHANT <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c794.shtml>
"Highly recommended." - Educational Media Reviews Online
In the late 1990s, Rose Mapendo lost her family and home to the violence that 
engulfed the Democratic Republic of Congo. She emerged advocating forgiveness 
and reconciliation. In a country where ethnic violence has created seemingly 
irreparable rifts among Tutsis, Hutus and other Congolese, this remarkable 
woman is a vital voice in her beleaguered nation’s search for peace.
