"Silence is Deadly - Living with Hepatitis C"
Hello Coalition!
If you are in West Hollywood or know anyone there please forward this email. I
will be trying to get this documentary aired on other public access stations
across the country. Feel free to send me your city's public access station info
and I will try and get it aired in your town. This is a great way to educate
others about Hep C. If you want to buy your own copy please send me a donation
of $10. That will cover the shipping.
HepCAware.org Presents "Silence is Deadly - Living with Hepatitis C"
Friday February 17 5:30pm and 10pm Channel 36
West Hollywoods Public Access Station on Adelphia Cable
Silence is Deadly - Living with Hepatitis C is a documentary chronicling the
lives of four people and their struggle with Hepatitis, a potentially fatal
liver disease. While exploring the nature of the virus, its treatments,
prognosis, and global impact, this powerful documentary further explores what it
is to live with a debilitating chronic illness and its stigma, as seen through
the eyes of our characters, one being the filmmaker herself.
The film was written, directed and produced by Kindra Anne Ruocco and In Your
Face Productions, with the purpose of ending the silence that has become an
epidemic for the estimated more than 5 million Americans who will contract
Hepatitis C in the next few years.
Currently about one in 15 people are living with this disease. "Silence is
Deadly" delves into the options and realities of Western and Eastern medicine,
and intertwines intimate details from a few who have made definitive lifestyle
choices in coping with their illness. Within the words and images, there exists
a powerful force for change and awareness with an underlying belief that
education equals prevention.
Kelly Zirbes from HepCAware.org is helping to promote the film and use it as a
tool for raising awareness of hepatitis C. If you have any questions please feel
free to call Kelly at 818-769-2701 or send her an email at
