[Oe List ...] 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.

This year on September 11,
proclaim the power and effectiveness of non-violence.

New Yorkers for a Department of Peace (NY-DOP) and the M.K. Gandhi 
Institute for Nonviolence (MKGI) are sponsoring 100 Years of Non-Violence, 
a campaign inviting people everywhere to organize and attend special 
viewings of the movie Gandhi (R. Attenborough, 1982), to be shown in venues 
worldwide on September 11, 2006.

NY-DOP and MKGI are working to facilitate the theatrical re-release of the 
film, television airings of Gandhi on that day, and individual and 
community screenings of the DVD.

Since 2001, the date of September 11 has been associated with violence, 
fear and destruction. It is a heartbreaking reminder of the catastrophic 
price of violence. September 11 also marks the date, in 1906, that Mohandas 
K. Gandhi launched the modern non-violence movement100 years agowhich 
charted a new course for peace building and conflict transformation.

To honor the memory of those killed on September 11, 2001 and all who have 
suffered as a result of violence worldwide, NY-DOP and MKGI invite people 
around the globe to commemorate this September 11 by remembering this 
100-year anniversary of the birth of the modern non-violence movement.

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).
