[Dialogue] Fwd: Gandhi

[Len Hockley]

Hi Folks,

This hot off the press.  Do we still have connections with Ben Kingsley 
and/or Richard Attenborough.  I thought that if we do we might be able to 
help the sponsors of this event.  They are trying to get Columbia Pictures 
to re-release the picture to the theaters at that time.

>>NY-DOP and MKGI are producing a short film, featuring Arun Gandhi, to be 
>>shown before the feature that will help dispel common myths and reveal 
>>the true power of non-violence. The short film will inspire simple, clear 
>>calls to action to educate ourselves, get involved, and “be the change we 
>>wish to see” (Gandhi).
