MEMORANDUM

TO MAD HATTER
From: MARY MATTHEWS January 30th, 1986
RE: NEW ACQUISITIONS — AUDIO VISUAL DEPARTMENT

 

IN THE LIBRARY

Abortion: Stories for North and South 16 mm 54 mins.

Women have always sought ways to terminate unwanted
pregnancies despite powerful patriarchal structures and systems

working against them. This film provides an historical over-
view of how church, state and the medical establishment have
determined policies concerning abortion. From this cross-

cultural survey, filmed in Ireland, Japan, Thailand, Peru,
Columbia and Canada, emerges one reality: only a small
percentage of the world's women has access to a safe, legal
operation.

Armchair Fitness VHS 60 mins.

Betty Swickas leads participants in three aerobic arm-

chair workouts of twenty minutes each. Her troupe of exercisers
includes a 92-year old man, a former heart patient, and a woman
with her leg in a splint. It is a regime which would be of

great value to both the elderly and the disabled.

Criminal Justice: The Sentencing Dilemma VHS 60 mins.

This programme focuses on judicial sentencing decisions
using a dramatization of a trial, and interviews with the
professionals and the non-professionals who are involved.

Nothing to be Sorry About VHS 29 mins.

A profile of four handicapped children - two deaf, one
with cerebral palsy, and one mentally retarded - who enjoy
the love and acceptance of their families and neighbours.
Their families stress that, in spite of their handicaps, the
children are happy, well adjusted members of society, and
should not be pitied.
