Greetings! My name is Angie Young and I am a feminist documentary filmmaker. I am currently scheduling campus screenings of my documentary, The Coat Hanger Project, for Fall 2010.
Here is a link to my trailer and a short description of the film: http://www.thecoathangerproject.com/clips
The Coat Hanger Project (53 min, 2008) is a documentary film about abortion and the current state of the reproductive justice/pro-choice movement. Before the legalization of abortion in 1973 in the United States, thousands of women died from complications resulting from botched illegal abortions. Filmmaker Angie Young walks the viewer through the personal stories and images of women who died from illegal abortion, women who were forced to use bent-wire coat hangers (the universal symbol for the pro-choice movement), sewing needles, or bike pumps when they couldn’t access legal abortions. The movie is positive, too, ending with a focus on the activism of the younger generation: among others, the Feminist Outlawz of Atlanta, who unite abortion rights activism with gender, racial and ethnic equality, and LGBTQ rights in their Planned Parenthood counter-protests.
My film has been reviewed on Feministing.com, UMD’s The Diamondback, and the Yale Herald, and was an official selection of the 2009 Rosebud Film Festival. It has been showed in multiple cities across the US, Canada, Ireland, the UK, Germany and Poland.
Please contact me if you would be interested in a review copy. Thank you so much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Angie Young
Director, The Coat Hanger Project
The Secretary-General of the United Nations has called for a summit meeting on the MDGS (Millennium Development Goals) September 20-22, 2010, in New York. Gender equality is one of the goals, and one that is generating much resistance from both secular and religious institutions. For more information see sections 4 and 5 of “Sustainable Development in the Gaian Perspective.”

Hi ladies. May I submit my latest book, in which the FWSA is mentioned, rather than a paper? It’s ‘David and Goliatha: David Cameron – heir to Harman?’ Keep up the good work! Mike Buchanan
Please i would like to know if you accept articles on gender issues for publication
Thanks
