B'way , New York City on Sunday @ 2 p.m.The admission is $8.50. The show
will be presented at Walter Reade Theatre.The show is part of the 1998 Human
Rights Watch International Film Festival.
                            NY Premiere SACRIFICE

Ellen Bruno. U.S.  1998 50m  16mm

Sometimes dreamlike, sometimes nightmarish, SACRIFICE takes on the issue of
child slavery and prostitution, focusing on  young Burmese girls sold by
their families into Thailand brothels. As four young women recount their
horrific experiences , they draw dignity around them like a beautiful
,fraying shawl. Despite having been systematically degraded, their virginity
sold many times over, their dreams deadended, these women bravely witness to
the barbaric abuse of their sex.


I hope you can come and see it.

Sincerely,

Julien Moe
