SUMMARY:Prison Reform and Filmmaking
DESCRIPTION:Last time the Sanctuary InfoShop met\, filmmaker Melis Birder was our special guest. Because of our event\, several people from our area have become involved in the production of her documentary The Visitors. This time\, I’d like to introduce you to two special people involved in criminal justice and prison reform work\, one of whom is also making a film. Cheryl Kates is a lawyer in private practice\, specializing in parole appeals and other related prisoner legal issues. Through her work she met filmmaker Stefania Zamparelli who has embarked on a project about clemency. Ms Kates is interested in the possibility the project will help some of her clients. Co-ordinated by Prison Action Network. \n\n\n\nStefania Zamparelli writes:\n\n\n\nI incorporated Community Awareness Through Arts Inc.\, which is a non-profit with a 501 (c) (3) status. Clemency Now! Is the first project for the organization; in the beginning it will focus on prisoners in the New York state. The project is intended to raise public opinion and to create grounds for legal clemency for those inmates who are guilty but have a good conduct record and have already served at least half of their sentence. Ideally it would be great to find inmates who are innocent or whose cases show a lack of evidence. My intention is to meet personally the available inmates after getting a prison permit (?!)\, which would allow me to document with camera and camcorder their particular stories. I’m also planning to interview the inmates’ relatives\, their attorneys and possible witnesses. \n\n\n\nWhy am I doing this? I always had a “rebellious” nature with an inclination towards social and political issues and I’m finally ready to give some more depth to my work. In my first 15 years in NY (I left Italy in 1991) I had to battle to survive without a green card; It took me 10 years to get it\, and in the end I accomplished it as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability (please feel free to laugh\, this is the real title!!!)

SUMMARY:Scott Ritter: The Crisis in the U.S.-Iran Relations
DESCRIPTION:William Scott Ritter\, Jr. is most noted for being a critic of United States foreign policy in the Middle East following his experiences as a United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq. Prior to the U.S. invasion in March 2003\, Rutter repeatedly stated that Iraq possessed no weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and was widely condemned for it. Now much of his criticism of U.S. policy has been vindicated. His new book\, Target Iran: The Truth About the White House’s Plans for Regime Change (2006)\, examines the Bush administration’s regime-change policy and the potential of Iran to threaten U.S. national security interests. “The most important thing to know about Scott Ritter the man\, is that he was right\,” Seymour Hersh states. “He told us again and again in 2002 and early 2003\, as President George Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair prepared for war in Iraq\, that there were no weapons.” \n\n\n\nPresented by the Iran Working Group of Upper Hudson Peace Action. Co-sponsor: Women Against War\, the Social Justice Center\, Troy Peace Action\, Schenectady Neighbors for Peace\, Saratoga Peace Alliance\, Pine Hill Neighbors for Peace\, and Veterans for Peace.
