DOROTHY GRANADA IN MULUKUKÚ: The Women's Empowerment Network is proud to announce that our video depicting the Women's Center in Mulukuku and Dorothy's recent struggles to resist deportation is ready and available. This excellent 22-minute video was filmed in Mulukukú and Managua earlier this year (2001) by two of Nicaragua's best videographers. It depicts the work of the Maria Luisa Ortiz Women's Center in Mulukukú. And, through interviews and live action footage, it tells the dramatic story of Dorothy Granada's successful resistance to President Alemán's attempts to deport her and close down the Women's Clinic. The video is available in Spanish or with English voiceover. After the very end of the English version, there is an additional 2˝ minute segment with Dorothy speaking in English. We are requesting a $15.00 donation to cover the costs of the video. If you would like to order the video, please respond to this e-mail and be sure to include your name and street address, number of videos requested, and English or Spanish preference. We'll include an invoice in the package. IDEAS FOR USING THIS VIDEO: · Dorothy's tour. If Dorothy will be touring again, you could use the video as part of the presentation.
