WMM is pleased that films from our Production Assistance program will be featured at the International Documentary Film Festival, Amsterdam (IDFA). New Year Baby, an ITVS-sponsored film by Socheata Poeuv, is one of 17 debut films by emerging filmmakers chosen for the First Appearances competition of the festival.  The latest documentary from WMM filmmaker Jennifer Fox (BEIRUT: THE LAST HOME MOVIE), Flying, Confessions of a Free Woman, funded by a host of European broadcasters including the BBC, is screening in the Reflecting Images, Masters section. In addition, Shailly Agnihotri will be participating in IDFA's Docs for Sale with her project, Three Soldiers.

We are also happy to note that the latest from THE LADIES ROOM filmmaker Mahnaz Afzali, Red Card, will be screening as part of the Joris Ivens Competition.

Executive Director Debra Zimmerman and Theatrical and International Broadcast Sales Manager Chris George will be attending IDFA. During the festival, Zimmerman will co-host the daily "Talk of the Day," interviewing directors and facilitating audience Q&A. Contact Zimmerman (dzimmerman@wmm.com) or George (cgeorge@wmm.com) to set up a meeting.

On October 11, SISTERS IN LAW had its broadcast premiere on the U.K. channel More4. Hailed by viewers as "enlightening" and "inspiring," the film provoked an incredible response among viewers. Read the raves.

This must-have documentary of the year is now available for purchase by universities, institutions, K-12 schools, libraries and community groups. Order this film.
