"A Long & Healthy Life"

Dementia: Is it preventable? Heart disease is the #1 killer. What can you do about it? Most of us know that it’s not simply about longevity, but quality of life. How can we maintain it? Dr. Cathie Lippman is uniquely qualified to speak on this subject since her medical practice focuses on Preventive Medicine.
Dr. Cathie Lippman has practiced Environmental and Preventive Medicine in Beverly Hills for over twenty years. She received her M.D. in 1973 from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. Her extensive knowledge and understanding of the whole person, including psychological, nutritional, and physiological influences, as well as environmental factors, make her uniquely qualified to examine how these various influences affect a patient.

"Do You Believe in Rock 'N Roll?"
With Steve Barri, songwriter/record producer
Do you remember when “rock was young,” when the songwriters were mostly teenagers from Brooklyn: Carole King, Neil Sedaka, Paul Simon, Bobby Darin and Neil Diamond. Strongly influenced by Rhythm & Blues, they wrote the mainstream popular music that dominated the charts.
Between 1959 and the 1964 British invasion, almost half of the hit songs on radio were written by songwriters working out of one building—the Brill Building. In this art deco structure, just north of Times Square, a musician could find a publisher, cut a demo and sign with a company to release and promote it without ever leaving the building.
As a songwriter/record producer himself, Steve Barri was there—saw it all, knew them all. Using rare video clips and some entertaining “insider” stories, Steve will talk about the songwriters who contributed to the soundtrack of our lives.

The third of Audrey Stein’s DocuTalks … Academy Award-Nominee “GOD SLEEPS IN RWANDA”

The third of Audrey Stein’s DocuTalks … Academy Award-Nominee “GOD SLEEPS IN RWANDA”
This powerful film uncovers the amazing stories of hope in the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide and captures the spirit of five courageous women as they rebuild their lives, redefine women’s roles in Rwandan society and bring hope to a wounded nation.
The 1994 Rwandan Genocide left the country nearly 70 percent female, handing Rwanda’s women an extraordinary burden and an unprecedented opportunity. Girls are attending school in record numbers, and women now make up a large part of the country’s leadership.
Working with two cameras and no crew except for their translator—a genocide survivor herself—the filmmakers uncover incredible stories: an HIV-positive policewoman raising four children alone and attending night school to become a lawyer, a teenager who has become head of household for her four siblings, and a young woman orphaned in her teens who is now the top development official in her area. Heart-wrenching and inspiring, this powerful film is a brutal reminder of the consequences of the Rwandan tragedy, and a tribute to the strength and spirit of those who are moving forth.
The film will be presented by Director, Kimberlee Acquaro, a filmmaker and photojournalist whose work has appeared in N.Y. Times Magazine, Washington Post Magazine, Time, US New & World Report, Mother Jones and many international publications. Acquaro's work has also been featured on CBS, NPR, The Tavis Smiley Show, Voices of America and BBC/PRI's The World. She was awarded a Pew Fellowship in International Journalism for her work documenting Rwandan women's emerging rights and roles in the country's reconciliation and reconstruction.
(One of the women featured in the film may also attend.)
