DESCRIPTION:Saturday, September 17, 2011, 7pm\n\nAngels in the Dust, an inspiring 
 documentary, tells the story of Marion Cloete, a university-trained 
 therapist who over fifteen years ago-with her husband and two 
 daughters-fearlessly walked away from a privileged life in a wealthy 
 Johannesburg suburb to establish Boikarabelo (formerly Botshabelo), an 
 extraordinary village and school that provide shelter, food, and education 
 to more than 550 South African children. \n \nThe tale of Marion and the 
 orphans she cares for is echoed in a dramatic parallel saga of the orphaned 
 elephants of Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa.  The longtime 
 government practice of culling- killing adult elephants to control herd 
 sizes-tore apart the complex social fabric of elephant culture, a fabric 
 that is not unlike that of the traditionally close-knit African village. As 
 a result, orphaned elephants grew up exhibiting unusually violent behavior, 
 such as attacking and goring rhinos. But elder elephants were recently 
 introduced into the Pilanesberg population to re-socialize the young. The 
 experiment is working-and it offers a resonant reflection of the healing 
 taking place for the human children being "re-parented" by Marion at 
 Boikarabelo.\n \nAngels in the Dust is the story of a courageous, 
 self-sacrificing, fiercely loving woman who chose a spiritual path over a 
 material one; it tells of the life-changing power of one compassionate 
 heart.  For a nation overwhelmed by an epidemic of HIV/AIDS, orphans, rape, 
 violence, and Apartheid's legacy of social and political unrest, the film 
 offers a clear pathway of hope and a replicable paradigm for the 
 future.\n\nJoining us for the screening will be Dr. Wendy Leonard, a 
 certified HIV specialist.  Dr. Leonard will talk about her work in Africa 
 and do a Q & A with the audience at the end of the film.\n
