Support our new generation of socially conscious filmmakers, artists and writers who bring more good for all of us. This project is worth of your support. I do. It is about our history that has been stolen from us for 50 years.

22 year old Croatian American filmmaker Brenda Brkusic will be featured on PBS for the Next Generation Filmmakers television program on Sunday December 21, 2003 at 3:30 pm (PST). Brenda will talk about the making of her documentary film, “Freedom from Despair,” which was shot in California, Chicago and Croatia last summer. You will also see a preview of the film which includes music composed by Nenad Bach.
Southern California residents can see the show on KOCE. Please check the station listing for your neighborhood at the following links:http://www.koce.org/cable_list.htm  for cable listings, and http://www.koce.org/satellite.htm  for satellite TV. If you do not have cable or satellite, KOCE’s regular over the air channel is 50.
The segment with Brenda will air during the last 10 minutes of the half hour show, and it is estimated that over 3 million people will be watching. Let’s raise the numbers and let KOCE know that we support programs like “Freedom from Despair.”
