Virginia Williams

A woman, an idea, an empty bank account. How far will she have to go?

<p>Virginia Williams is an Emmy Award-winning producer who has<br /> written and produced a wide variety of long-form<br /> documentary specials and series for Discovery Channel, <span class="caps">TLC</span>,<br /> National Geographic, <span class="caps">PBS</span>, and other broadcasters. Her<br /> company, New View Films, <span class="caps">LLC</span>, also produces high-impact<br /> educational media toolkits and advocacy media about<br /> important social and public health issues.]<br /> While working as a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco,<br /> Virginia became interested in the reality vs. Western<br /> perception of women’s role in Islamic society. In June 2002<br /> she made a trip to Afghanistan to investigate a film about<br /> Afghan women’s rights activists’ role in rebuilding their<br /> country after the Taliban. What she found was hundreds of<br /> women had been resisting the Taliban and were now ready to<br /> keep fighting for a full and equal role in society. It was<br /> there at Afghanistan’s Emergency Election that Virginia<br /> witnessed Massouda Jalal’s first step up to the podium to<br /> announce her candidacy for president. She knew she had a<br /> story.</p>
