[IMC-Editorial] Can Religious Pressure Stop This?

[Angela]

Would you be interested in interviewing Ms. Lieblich or posting it on your
website?

 

Darlene Lieblich is Executive Director of Broadcast Standards at one of the
major networks and also producer of a controversial new film project called
HEART OF THE BEHOLDER.  She has received a tremendous amount of pressure
from extreme religious groups while trying to get this movie made because
the film touches on the subject of the freedom of religion, speech, abuse of
power, etc.  

 

Darlene is extremely passionate about these issues.  While appearing on
radio shows, she was asked to stay longer than the allotted time slot and
jammed the show's phone lines. It's an informative, informational, and
controversial story for your audience.

 

Her film tells the true story of a St. Louis video store owner whose life
was shattered because he refused to withdraw from his shelves Martin
Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ."  It's a fascinating story with a
corrupt prosecutor, a prostitution sting, and, of course, the ultimate
demise of this man's life due to constant harassment from an extreme
religious group.

 

Having seen her movie in development at A-list production companies only to
be withdrawn from their slates under pressure from those same "moralists,"
Darlene is turning directly to liberty-loving individuals and human rights
organizations in order to get the movie made.  Her web-site www.beholder.com
<http://www.beholder.com/>  offers a range of incentives including a contest
for actors and a songwriter's showcase for musicians to ensure that the film
is ready for screening at Cannes 2004.  There is also a "Rants and Raves"
section where people can voice their opinions either by email or by phone.

 

If you would like to interview Darlene Lieblich, head of Beholder
Productions, MENSA member, five-time Jeopardy champion and a 28-year
entertainment industry veteran, or if you would like any further information
about the project, please don't hesitate to let me know.
