Peggy Stern Produces Anti-Gun Violence PSA
Peggy Stern has produced Cartoonists Against Gun Violence,
a two-minute public service announcement featuring the art
of leading cartoonists and illustrators, and narrated by Julianne
Moore and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The PSA, which debuted
on April 22, was produced for Demand Action, a campaign of
Mayors Against Illegal Guns. This coalition of 950 mayors has
enlisted support from a broad segment of American society
to keep illegal guns out of dangerous hands.

Standing Tall available on DVD
24 minutes, close-captioned
US$29.00
Standing Tall documents a group of Manhattan elementary school students who witnessed the Sept. 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center from their classroom window. Working with a drama therapist and youth theater professionals, the children embark on a series of theater workshops to express their feelings and experiences in the form of role play and performance.
This film is essential for parents, teachers, school psychologists, social workers, arts therapists, and others who work with children, as it underscores the important role that story-making and dramatic performance can play in helping children cope with traumatic experiences.
Companion film to the book Theatre for Change: Education, Social Action and Therapy, by Robert Landy and David T. Montgomery, available at Amazon.com.
