FADE
IN with CRYSTAL BIRK on UFP
One look at this former Miss Jamaica, and the beauty and elegance
are evident. If you have the opportunity to speak with her,
you will be overwhelmed with her wit, wisdom and intelligence.
Not to mention her firm understanding of "work-ethic."
The Squad is looking forward to seeing Ms. Birk on the silver
screen for many years to come.

THE
411 on THE DANCER UPSTAIRS
As a Latin American nation nears collapse under a highly organized
terrorist movement, idealistic policeman Agustin Rejas (Javier Bardem)
faces the greatest challenge of his career: to catch the mysterious
guerilla leader Ezequiel. The brains behind the bloody revolution
that threatens to bring the government and entire country down, Ezequiel
is as elusive as Rejas' superiors are corrupt - an irony not lost
on Rejas, who left a career as a lawyer to try to find "a more
honorable way of practicing the law." The military's response
to the brutal tactics of Ezequiel's followers is equally ferocious,
creating an atmosphere of mass panic. |

SQUAD MAIL
- In Response to Hollywood/Health FADE IN, Issue 2 - April
7, 2003
This is Carl
Seaton, I appreciate your article regarding ONE WEEK, and
JOHN Q pertaining to health in the African American community.
I would also like to let you know that ONE WEEK finally did
obtain distribution and is now available in video stores nationwide.
Keep doing your thing FADE IN!
Carl Seaton,
Director - ONE WEEK
Are you forgetting
about "Soul Food"? This movie forces the decision
to cook the food the way 'Mama' did in order to keep the family
together, rather than to remember that this woman had extreme
diabetes (and very, very likely, hypertension). A film that
doesn't get a great deal of exposure but deals specifically
with sickle-cell anemia is "A Warm December" (starring
and directed by Sidney Poitier). It was beautifully written,
and poignantly directed with extreme sensitivity. The medical
condition was the central theme of the movie -there was no
escaping it.
