Documentary:
"Whose Body, Whose Rights?"


" The screening of "Whose Body, Whose Rights?" went very well. In the weeks prior to the screening several hundred flyers were distributed. The newspapers also gave me free listings in their announcements. We received numerous phone calls inquiring about the screening.

At the screening was a physician by the name of Richard DeAndrea, MD. He spoke about his background and experiences with circumcision and why he opposes it. Also at the screening was the coordinator for N.O.R.M. - southern California, Steven Michaud. He spoke about the movement and about foreskin restoration. Then we had a question and answer period. It could have gone on all night, but Dr. DeAndrea had to leave. Steven Michaud stayed longer to answer more questions. We left at 11:30 PM. The evening was very powerful, emotional, informative and inspiring. We met some people who really want to help the cause.

I am planning to have more screenings in the future. I am looking at other venues that might attract more people.

A few days later Dr. DeAndrea did a radio program on the topic of circumcision. Steven Michaud was his guest. Dr. DeAndrea does a weekly radio program on a variety of health topics and this was the first time he did a show on circumcision. It all began when I gave him the video to look at a few weeks ago!

"I just wanted to let you know that the March 19th. screening went well and we had a good turnout. I passed out several hundred copies (of the flyer) and I made a 11" X 17" copy for the front window of the bookstore."

"The photo of me was taken on Venice Beach was taken by activist David Brandt at his anti-circumcision literature table. David has been driving a great distance every Sunday for the past two years to do outreach on the world famous Venice Beach boardwalk."
"He came three hours early to the bookstore on March 19th., and set up his table on the sidewalk outside the bookstore. More people saw the video because of this."
