["Women Make Movies Educate" <>]

Hi All,

I am writing from Women Make Movies, the leading non profit distributor of 
films by and about women. I thought the members of this listserv would be 
interested to know about our new release FORBIDDEN VOICES: HOW TO START A 
REVOLUTION WITH A COMPUTER. This great educational resource explores critical 
issues around Journalism, Politics, Activism, Social Media, Sociology and 
Feminism. 

FORBIDDEN VOICES: HOW TO START A REVOLUTION WITH A COMPUTER 
<http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c847.shtml>

As Seen Recently in CNN International Edition 
<http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/03/world/world-press-freedom-day-forbidden-voices>

Their voices are suppressed, prohibited and censored. But world-famous 
bloggers Yoani Sánchez, Zeng Jinyan and Farnaz Seifi are unafraid of their 
dictatorial regimes. These fearless women represent a new, networked 
generation of modern rebels. In Cuba, China and Iran their blogs shake the 
foundations of the state information monopoly, putting them at great risk. 

This film accompanies these brave young cyberfeminists on perilous journeys. 
Eyewitness reports and clandestine footage show Sánchez's brutal beating by 
Cuban police for criticizing her country's regime; Chinese human rights 
activist Jinyan under house arrest for four years; and Iranian journalist and 
women's advocate Seifi forced into exile, where she blogs under a pseudonym. 
Tracing each woman's use of social media to denounce and combat violations of 
human rights and free speech in her home country, FORBIDDEN VOICES attests to 
the Internet's potential for building international awareness and political 
pressure.
