  • Introduction
    .. Introduction he news on Saturday, August 22, 2009, that Muriel Duckworth had Tdied in her one hundred and first year set wires buzzing across Canada. People wanted to talk about their experience of her. Some gave interviews to the media; others came together or phoned each other. In the weeks following, memorial services were held at Austin, Quebec, Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. All of us recognized that her passing marked the end of an era, but I sense that we came together not only to remember her but to testify to Muriel’s ongoing legacy of love. In 1996 I was delighted when Fernwood published the biography of Muriel that I had written. Muriel Duckworth: A Very Active Pacifist was inspired by my devotion to her. I’d had the opportunity to be close to her for twenty years in Halifax. Muriel caused a significant change in my life, as I am sure she did for many, when in 1978 she introduced me to the peace movement through the Voice of Women, a national peace organization. Muriel became my role model in countless ways. She reinforced the best of my social work education as I watched her practise adult education in both small informal groups and the large organizations she helped to found. Her warm relationships with everyone were at once spontaneous yet carefully tended. Her behaviour was rooted in her principles, and her love for so many individuals reflected her love for humanity. She combined gentleness, tenacity, humour and fearlessness. Muriel became the mother I had never known since my own mother died when I was a young child.

  • The National Film Board's Studio D: Feminists Making Films for Peace
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 292 141 CS 506 056 AUTHOR Taylor, Anita TITLE The National Film Board's Studio D: Feminists Making Films for Peace. PUB DATE Nov 87 NOTE 31p.; Paler presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (73rd, Boston, MA, November 5-8, 1987). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) -- Book/Product Reviews (072) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Disarmament; Documentaries; Females; *Feminism; *Film Criticism; Film Production; Films; *Film Study; *Nuclear Warfare; *Peace; Womens Studies IDENTIFIERS Feminist Criticism; *National Film Board of Canada; Nuclear Freeze; *Peace Studies ABSTRACT Studio D of the National Film Board of Canada, a women's film making unit established to make films by, for, and about women, has created a group of five films that effectively develop the argument that women can and must join the effort to bring peace to a nuclear world. The first of these peace films, "If You Love This Planet," consists of words and images from a speech by Dr. Helen Caldicott, author and spokesperson for Physicians for Social Responsibility, which questions the industrial nations' increasing stocks of nuclear arms. "Speaking Our Peace" follows Muriel Duckworth, a Canadian peace activist, through a series of conversations with women in Canada and the Soviet Union which introduce the breadth of women's involvement in peace efforts. Three spin-off films resulted from "Speaking Our Peace": "A Writer in the Nuclear Ay: A Conversation with Margaret Laurence"; "Nuclear Addiction: Dr. Rosalie Bertell on the Cost of Deterrence"; and "A Love Affair with Politics: A Portrait of Marion Dewar." All three spin-off films are relatively short (10-27 minutes) and would lend themselves to use in classes or club meetings, and, like the other films, develop the theme that despair is not an appropriate response to a nuclear world, action is, and "ordinary" people can make a difference.
