Subject: women films & where are folks
I agree there is not a great all around womens history film. I teach womens
history and have a good collection of the early womens films but there is not
a great history all on one film. I use shorter films for each class I teach.
The film you mentioned Making sense of the Sixties is called Making
Nonsense of the Sixties by a group of us that are upset with the politics and
choices of the filmmakers.
Paul Potter is dead, Robert Scheer writes for LA Times and the Nation Mag
has address for Robert Moses. I heard him speak abt. 6 months ago at Town
Hall in NYC.
