From FOX61's Morning Show, Aug. 3, 2009
Shameless self promotion: your humble narrator at Mira Hartford was a guest on FOX 61's Morning Show to discuss the documentary Human Heart Explodes, which will be screening down in New Haven this evening. For information about the screening, check out the New Haven Public Library event's site.
From the Press Release:
Filmmaker Helder Mira will be on hand to present his recent
documentary, Human Heart Explodes, on Tuesday, August 4, 6-7:45 pm,
at New Haven Public Library, 133 Elm St. Part of the library’s
Independent Directors Film Series, this is the story of Safet Tairov’s
efforts to find international aid for his fellow Roma (Gypsy) people
to build a kindergarten for their children in a small Eastern European
village. Many obstacles block Safet's progress: the mayor won't speak
to him; the non-Roma citizens feel left out of the process; Safet's
organization has little community support and no resources; and
dealing with Westerners is culturally challenging. But this is
ultimately a story of success.
The film is directed by Helder Mira, produced by Matt Orefice and Paul
A. McDonald, and is based on Orefice's Peace Corps experience in the
Republic of Macedonia.
