                      Two New Videos From NARMIC

"Voices from South Africa is an excellent teaching tool, a must for
high school and college students."

        --  Paula Bower, Co-chairperson, Educators Against
            Apartheid; public school teacher, New York City.


"The American Friends Service Committee has done a superb job of
showing anguish inflicted upon ordinary human beings in South Africa,
day after day, in the name of apartheid...At a time when the cameras
are by law locked out of South Africa."

        -- Congressman William Gray III

VOICES FROM SOUTH AFRICA presents an uncensored picture of the current
situation in South Africa.  Filmed by South Africans within South
Africa, the tapes pierce the Pretoria government's news embargo and
shed light on the continuing struggle to abolish apartheid.

Voices from South Africa is produced by the American Friends Service
Committee's Academy Award winning filmmaker David Goodman. It is
narrated by Dennis Brutus, internationally acclaimed South African
poet and political activist in exile. The footage was obtained through
AFRAVISION, a London-based agency with on-site crews in South Africa

The five parts of Voices from South Africa, on two tapes, may be used
as a complete program or individually, depending on the interest and
time available to the audience. Each part of the five segments is six
to twelve minutes long. The series will be of particular interest to
educators, religious, labor and community groups.

       FRAGILE GROUND: THE STRUGGLE FOR PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE

Introductory A/V about the hopes and challenges facing the Filipino
people in the post-Marcos era. Composed of interviews with seven
eyewitness observers, FRAGILE GROUND highlights: the struggle of
Filipinos to overcome the legacy of poverty and hunger, the role of
the United States in the Philippines, the continuing war in the
countryside, the role and impact of the New Peoples Army, and the
increasing role of Philippine women in challenging the policies of
underdevelopment.

The questions raised in this A/V are as relevant today as they were
when FRAGILE GROUND was produced in 1986.

| The slidefilm ACCEPTABLE RISK? is as relevant today as it was when |
| it was produced in 1980 by AFSC's NARMIC.                          |
|                                                                    |
| Headlines draw our attention, state by state, to where nuclear     |
| weapons and power plants are located and where local governments   |
| face a health and safety crisis.                                   |
|                                                                    |
| NARMIC's slidefilm raises the question of whether the Nuclear      |
| industry is an "acceptable risk" introducing the reviewer to       |
| nuclear workers and to communities where nuclear facilities and    |
| wastes are located. It clearly explains the production of nuclear  |
| warheads and nuclear power beginning with uranium mining through   |
| the nuclear fuel chain to electricity, bombs and radioactive       |
| waste.                                                             |

| ACCEPTABLE RISK is available with sound track on cassette tape in  |
| slideshow and filmstrip format. The 35-minute production is also   |
| available as a 3-part presentation, for easier use in classrooms   |
