Potent message, and yes it should be seen by everyone. No one ever thinks it can happen to them.

Turns out the four-minute sequence is part of a larger 30-minute movie drama -- produced and directed by Peter Watkins-Hughes -- who got his own students from the Newport School of Art, Media and Design in Wales -- to work on the picture, serving as technical crews and talent -- in cooperation with the Gwent Police Department, about 150 miles west of London. A longer-version of this drama will be shown at schools this year, with negotiations going on with the BBC to have the film, presently entitled "COW" (named after a road), to be broadcast later this year throughout the U.K. The graphic video clip is professionally staged -- but appears very realistic and does a fine job hammering its message home. In my view, it should be seen by every parent -- and imported/licensed for broadcast or school use throughout the U.S. http://tinyurl.com/rx52sm Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
