WOMEN'S MINYAN-The Play
This powerful drama expires the gulf that separates social convention from fundamentalist faith in a patriarchal society cutting across religion,gender and cultural boundaries .”Jerusalem Post" Chana Kashman, the main character in Naomi Ragen’s award-winning play, is a respected Rabbi’s wife in the patriarchal ultra-Orthodox community of Jerusalem, a community steeped in religious strictures and customs that strictly control all aspects of women’s lives. After years of abuse by her husband, she finally breaks her silence, only to find herself excommunicated and forcibly separated from her twelve children. In a desperate attempt to break the codes that imprison her, she manages to convene a Minyan –a quorum– of women closest to her, including her mother, mother- in-law, sister, daughters, and friends, asking them to decide her worthiness to be reunited with her children. But even as they sit in judgment, it is ultimately they themselves, and their entire society, that are on trial.

RED LIGHT
DOCUMENTARY - with PRIORITY FILMS
Narrated by Lucy Liu, REDLIGHT is a powerful feature documentary about child sexploitation, an epidemic happening in every country around the world. Filmed over a four year period, REDLIGHT focuses on the personal stories of young Cambodian victims and two remarkable advocates for change: grass-roots activist Somaly Mam and politician Mu Sochua. Both have since been nominated for the Noble Peace Prize. The filmmakers Guy Jacobson won the prestigious Global Hero Award for their work in Cambodia. Using footage smuggled out of brothels and harrowing testimonials, REDLIGHT follows the plight of several current and former child sex slaves. Some are trying to regain entry into Cambodian society to find some semblance of normality after their horrific experiences. Other stories highlight the plight of victims who are attempting to bring the perpetrators to justice. Their torturous yet ultimately heroic battles to find witnesses and take brothel owners to court are dramatically brought to life in this topical and moving feature documentary.

PHILANTHROPY
The Bali Children’s Project (BCP) is dedicated to improving young lives through education. It is founded on the belief that as children are empowered to realize their potential, they will enrich their villages and contribute to the world we all share. By providing opportunities for education, we are giving children the chance for a better tomorrow, while lightening the burdens of today. BCP is a 501C3 non-profit registered in the state of California and Indonesia.
The Story
The Bali Children’s Project began with the private support of a few needy girls. Over the years we have grown and expanded the services we provide.
Today our activities include:
- creating rural kindergartens and pre-schools
- teacher training
- sponsorship of individual children
- providing school and classroom materials and enhancements
- support for Balinese traditional arts
- formation of children’s gamelan orchestras
- volunteer placement
- English language and computer training
- micro-investment program for women
- business enterprise programs for village women
For more than twelve years the Bali Children’s Project has been quietly touching the lives of young people and their families. It grew from a simple desire to give back to the Balinese people, as a gesture of gratitude, something tangible in return for the joy and delight their warm welcome and rich culture have given to us. We are acutely aware of the importance of maintaining Bali’s rich cultural heritage, and protecting it from undue outside influence. BCP programs are designed to integrate the demands of economic progress with the island’s traditional values.
We hope you share our excitement and our vision of a more just and equitable society, in which children can look forward to a rich and fulfilling life. Only with your continued compassion and generosity can we succeed in this life-changing work.
