Exciting New Book Making the Connections that Bind
"The Friendships Between Women"
In January 2002, Houston saw a story about a woman from African that moved her in a special way. The program she was watching was "Nightline." They were doing a weeklong series about the plight of the people in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa.
This is a preview of my documentary "Touch a woman...Touch a rock "on the treatment of women in Congo. They are raped and enslaved by soldiers by the thousands. 50 women in a hospital in Congo sent me letters about what happened to them. Listen and then write Secretary Clinton to put the pressure on to stop the war.
