>> My name is Natalie Tschechaniuk, I'm the festival coordinator for the 
>> 2005 New York Human Rights Watch International Film Festival. We are 
>> showing a film called PULLED FROM THE RUBBLE that we think would be 
>> of interest to the members of Progressive Librarians Guild.  In 
>> PULLED FROM THE RUBBLE Margaret Loescher, the filmmaker, records her 
>> family's recovery after her father is severely wounded by a bombing 
>> at the UN in Iraq.  It is an emotional film with a strong anti-war 
>> message.  A full description is below.  We would appreciate your 
>> assistance in getting the word out about this film.  If Progressive 
>> Librarians Guild has any contacts or member lists in New York, please 
>> pass this information on to them. Thank you in advance, and please 
>> let me know if you need more information or have any questions. Best, 
>> Natalie

>> *Filmmaker presentIn August 2003, Gil Loescher went to Baghdad on a 
>> humanitarian research trip. He and his colleagues were in a meeting 
>> with the head of the United Nations in Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello, 
>> when a truck full of explosives was driven into the side of the 
>> building. Gil was the only survivor from the most devastated section 
>> of the building. All of the other people in the meeting died.Through 
>> poignantly honest narration, and observational scenes of high 
>> emotion, his daughter records the family's recovery during the months 
>> after the bombing. Filming becomes her way of dealing with the 
>> suddenness of the family's changed reality, and a way of re-visiting 
>> the haunting images of the bomb site-a place of both horror and 
>> hope.Co-Presented by the Tribeca Film Festival*Mon June 20: 8:30;
