[Oe List ...] 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.

>>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

>>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).
