[ Ссылка ] her interview with me at STIFF about the "Witness Bahrain" film
and Jen Marlowe, Director of "Witness Bahrain" at STIFF [ Ссылка ]
To contact Jen Marlowe DONKEYSADDLE@gmail.com Dear Friends, What a weekend.
--Witness Bahrain premiered at the Seattle Transmedia & Independent Film Festival to two sold-out audiences.
--Charles Mudede of The Stranger (Seattle's preeminent alternative weekly newspaper) called it "one of the best documentaries I have seen this year" and said the film is "fearless, insightful, and has a big heart for those who are in this long but beautiful struggle." (Full review below.)

--Before both screenings, we hosted a photo exhibit of Bahraini child prisoners, courtesy of Americans for Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain. And, a lively discussion/Q&A was held after both screenings with Witness Bahrain Co-Producer Nada Alwadi, Director/Producer Jen Marlowe and donkeysaddle projects Project Manager Amer Shurrab.

--Mike McCormick interviewed Nada Alwadi and Jen Marlowe about the film and the freedom struggle in Bahrain on KEXP's Mind Over Matter. (Link to interview here.)

--Hedgebrook hosted a Tweet Chat about the film, and about Bahrain with Nada and Jen. You can read the transcript here.

--And, to top it all off--Witness Bahrain received the Audience Award at STIFF.

It is tremendously exciting that Witness Bahrain was recognized with this award right out the gate. But, the credit for this honor goes to the audience. We are so moved by how many of you came out, supported, and showed enthusiasm for this film and, most importantly, for the struggle for freedom, democracy and human rights in Bahrain.

We hope that many many more of you will have the opportunity to see the film in the months to come. If you want to help organize a community screening, please contact Amer Shurrab. And, you can support the film's ability to screen world-wide by clicking here.

In solidarity, and with gratitude,
Jen Marlowe, Director/Producer, Witness Bahrain
