EVERLASTING MOMENTS: WHEN WOMEN SOLD THEIR HAIR FOR BREAD

There is barely a single moment in this film that doesn't amaze and astonish. Whether focusing on the joys and tragedies of family life; the battles of exploited workers for their humanity; young girls selling their locks of hair for bread.

GIMME SHELTER: WFCC Member's New Book On The Housing Crisis And Surviving 'Real Estate Porn.'

Women Film Critics Circle member Mary Elizabeth Williams has a new book out from Simon & Schuster, GIMME SHELTER, an incisive personal exposé on the housing crisis and surviving 'real estate porn.'
Mary Elizabeth Williams is the cultural critic for Public Radio International's morning news show, The Takeaway, and a regular contributor to Salon.com. She has written for many publications including The New York Times and The New York Observer.

"Of course I want a home," writes Mary Elizabeth, "I'm American." Gimme Shelter is the first book to reveal how this primal desire, "encoded into our cultural DNA," drove our nation to extremes, from the heights of an unprecedented housing boom to the depths of an unparalleled crash.

The radiant colors and beyond imagination fantasy costumes and sets are indescribable. In our conversation with Isabella, we wanted to know if her primary impulse in creating Green Porno was to be sexy. And if not, what then?

Rossellini and Dragonflies Make A Porno. Not exactly bestiality, but don't expect Isabella to get a room. CONTINUE READING HERE...
