Ele, My Friend (1992)
Good Family Entertainment
Ele, My Friend is a wonderful film that you can watch with the entire family and if you like elephants it is good for any age! The film tells the story of a young British boy that becomes friends with a young elephant in the wild and what happens when the elephant is captured by poachers and the boy has to rescue it. The elephant scenes are beautifully filmed. The story takes place in India during the British Raj and it is a glimpse of what life must have been like during that time for the British as well as the Indian people. With all of the problems that elephants are facing in the wild in India as well as Africa, Ele, My Friend is a good reminder of how unique and important these creatures are!
White Rainbow (2004)
White Rainbow is a story that needs to be told!
When I first heard about the story line for White Rainbow I did not believe that it could be true. How could women who were widowed be blamed for the death of their husband and be cast out by their families? I have traveled to India many times and I had never heard about this poor treatment of widow's but after doing research myself, I came to realize that this is true. That widows from many parts of India are still considered "unlucky" and to have bad karma. White Rainbow does an excellent job of explaining the situation that many Indian women face when they become widowed and it does so telling compelling stories that draw you into their plight without being preachy. You must see it to believe it! Oprah should highlight this movie on her show so that more people will come to learn about this horrible injustice and positive change can take place! If you have friends that care about women's issues urge them to see this film when it comes out on DVD.
