DESCRIPTION:Film Arts Foundation and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts presents:\n\nTRUE 
 STORIES: sneak previews of new documentaries\n\nMY CHILD: MOTHERS OF 
 WAR\n\nBy Angeliki Giannakopoulos (2005, 94 min.)\n\nWhen we hear about 
 soldiers and casualties in war, much too often we perceive these human 
 beings merely as statistics.  Capturing the words and emotions of the 
 mothers whose sons and daughters are fighting and dying in Iraq, director 
 Angeliki Giannakopoulos puts a human face on these soldiers in this 
 extraordinarily powerful portrait of love, suffering and our common 
 humanity. \n\nThese courageous mothers of our country’s soldiers are 
 still mothers of the sons and daughters they’ve raised for nearly two 
 decades. Sons and daughters they raised to play baseball, to go to the 
 prom, to get married and have children of their own, but not to risk their 
 lives…far from home.\nMY CHILD explores how these mothers manage to get 
 through each day knowing that bullets could be destroying the “center of 
 their universe.”\n\nAnd then there are the other mothers. The ones whose 
 children come back in pieces…or not at all. How do they carry on when 
 their precious children return to them, somehow less than when they last 
 saw them…or after the messengers of death, dressed in uniform have shown 
 up at their door?\n\nWednesday, August 16th, 2006, 7:30 PM\nYerba Buena
