Justine Shapiro just gave birth.  It was a beautiful baby boy in April.  And, a few months earlier, she gave the world a new film that should be seen by every woman, man, and youth interested in needed Palestinian-Jewish relationships.
     Please tell those you know in New York.  This is a truly great and helpful film.  It won the Rotterdam Film Festival Award over "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
     We forward to you this morning's announcement from Justine.  As she says, this film will sell out early.  Anyone intending to see it should get tickets promptly.     --L&L
