In Reply to: While I support the idea that such other historical events... posted by EBerlin on June 24, 2006 at 09:37:07:
Whilst this may be true in the USA and among certain other groups, I don't think it is at all universal.
There is a phrase or thought that the world changed after the World Trade Centre (tries to think of politically neutral term)... event.
The only thing that changed in reality was that the USA learned it is not different from the rest of the world where terrorist attacks have been happening for mmm ever, more or less.
Perhaps the USA will now finance/arrange/support less of them.
That would be a start.
I haven't seen your film which I don't think has been shown here in Australia yet (at least not to my knowledge) so I am at a loss to comment on specific inclusions in it.
Follow Ups:
I gather it's been shown at least a little bit in Australia, because there was a followup event in May, during which 350 Jewish bikers descended on Whitwell, Tennessee to celebrate the Paper Clips Project and donate a substatial amount of educational technology to the Whitwell Middle School. About 5 of the bikers had come in from Australia...It's possible the Australians heard about it through other channels but most people who've responded to the project over the last couple of years have done so after seeing the film.
I have no idea if its been shown on free to air TV.
Outside the mainstream cinema and the big cities, "left-field" films tend to get put on by film societies.
I will ask my ex (who is on the committee of the Noosa Film Society) if she has heard of it... or even I guess if she would be interested in it.
Could I refer her to you for background information?
