                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Chicago, IL (PRWeb) January 22, 2007 -- The WITASWAN initiative proudly announces the special guest for our 2007 program: Chicago&#039;s own Felicia Middlebrooks!  Ms. Middlebrooks is the producer/director of the award-winning documentary short &quot;Somebody&#039;s Child: The Redemption of Rwanda,&quot; and she will introduce the film and then take questions from the audience after the screening.  Returning from a riveting trip to Rwanda in spring 2004, Ms. Middlebrooks received accolades for her groundbreaking special report on the 10th Anniversary of the aftermath of the 1994 genocide, in which one million people were slaughtered.  &quot;Somebody&#039;s Child,&quot; her first film, chronicles the events leading up to the genocide, and examines how survivors are coping today.  Ms. Middlebrooks is a 31-year veteran journalist for CBS Radio/WBBM Newsradio 780, and is recognized through out metro Chicago for her warm signature voice.



Four Illinois-based organizations, AAUW-Illinois (the American Association of University Women), AWJ (the Association for Women Journalists), IWPA (the Illinois Woman&#039;s Press Association), and WIF/C (Women in Film/Chicago) are co-sponsoring this program, under the banner of WITASWAN (&quot;Women in the Audience Supporting Women Artists Now!&quot;).

The 2007 event will take place on Saturday, March 31, from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM, at Landmark&#039;s Century Center Theater (located at Clark &#38; Diversey in Chicago).  Admission is $15.00 per person in advance, $10.00 for seniors 65+ and all students (with IDs).  Walk-in rate (for those without reservations) is $20.00 per person (based on space available).  In addition to the admission fee, voluntary donations will be solicited for Rwanda&#039;s genocide widows and children through &quot;Hollywood Comes to Chicago&quot; a 501c3 established by Ms. Middlebrooks.  One hundred percent of these tax deductible donations will be sent to those in need.

This program is the third in WITASWAN&#039;s annual series of events celebrating Women&#039;s History Month.  The first program was a screening of &quot;A Jury of Her Peers,&quot; the Oscar-nominated feminist classic written and directed by Sally Heckel, which was held on March 19, 2005 (with Ms. Heckel as the featured guest).  The second program was a screening of &quot;Look Both Ways&quot; written and directed by Sarah Watt which was held on March 18, 2006 (with Ms. Watt as the featured guest).  The 2006 screening was co-sponsored by the Australian Consul-General for Chicago, who had copies of three of Ms. Watt&#039;s award-winning animated shorts sent from Melbourne via diplomatic pouch especially for the occasion.
