Finding Ways to Speak the Truth: Simone Bitton and Mary Wind

Listen to "Finding Ways to Speak the Truth: Simone Bitton and Mary Wind"

In her new documentary film titled "Rachel", Israeli-French filmmaker Simone Bitton tries to get at the truth of 23-year-old Rachel Corrie's death on August 16, 2003. That day, US-made Israeli-driven bulldozers arrived to demolish the Nasrallah house in Rafah, Gaza Strip. Rachel Corrie refused to move out of the path of the bulldozer and was run over and crushed to death.

Mary Wind of Teach Peace is a member of a growing segment of the American population that continues to engage with the truth as we know it. Mary openly challenged her own assumptions and brought them to bear on the issues facing our world.
