I have traveled to Nicaragua, Cuba, Israel and the Occupied territories over the last 20 years. I began filming in Nicaragua in the 1980's after the revolution, filming the Mothers of Heroes and Martyrs. Women who lost their sons or daughters in the Contra war. After that I got the bug and have made many films about women, revolutions, peace movements and civil rights struggles.
