Just got word from the filmmaker that Forgotten Ellis Island, the documentary for which Bruce Miles and Drew Hadwal and I provided voices, has been selected as a "prime time national special for late spring or early summer broadcast".

She also said "Plus, the Smithsonian Institution is planning on creating a traveling exhibit using clips from the film and images from the book and film--it will be a free exhibit and be placed in museums, libraries, schools, all sorts of public spaces across the country...they need to find a corporate sponsor to underwrite the $500k but are confident it will happen.

All told, 2008 is looking like a pretty amazing year for FEI!"

This has been a good week so far Wink

YES !

I relish knowing Mary, Bruce, and Drew are an integral part of the piece, and made it what it is. Without you, we wouldn't have this thread, and this good news!
