JPP at the 2019 Women’s March in Los Angeles

January 31, 2019  |  By Melissa In Blog, Latest, News

For four years now, Los Angeles based documentary producers Stephen L. Fiske and Robert Corsini have been developing “The Jerusalem Prayer Project”, a multi-media, non-profit production company. The two have been chronicling the efforts of Israeli and Palestinian women who are courageously leading the “Women Wager Peace” (WWP) movement in the Holy Land. Since its inception following the Gaza War of 2014, WWP has grown from an original group of 40 to over 40,000 active supporters. and is the most dynamic, colorful and publicly visible voice for peace and reconciliation in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Throughout their journey, Fiske and Corsini have shot stirring and inspiring footage of the marches and rallies, and have interviewed many of the leaders of the movement.

“Women can bring us as one tribe of human beings together,” explains Huda Abuarquob, Regional Director of the Alliance For Middle East Peace.

The sentiment rings true across the globe and was resonant in this third year of Woman’s Marches held in various cities across the US on January 15. 2019 Stephen Fiske and Robert Corsini participated and filmed the massive Women’s March in Downtown Los Angeles, which saw people of all ages, races, cultures, political affiliations, disabilities, and backgrounds continue to fight for the cause of inclusive feminist activism, speak truth to power, and proclaim and uphold respect, dignity, and equal rights for all.

Stephen describes the atmosphere at L.A. Women’s March downtown: “The Woman’s March showered and empowered us all in spirit, in energy, for pluralism and inclusivity, for justice and speaking truth to power, in concern for the state of our society and planet, rekindling the  passionate great public outpourings of historic significance, such as the Great March on Washington, the peace and environmental demonstrations, and the rise of feminist inclusive activism here and around the world, in the quest to defend and fulfill the promise of true democracy.”

Adds Robert: “There is a natural and irrefutable connection between what women are saying around the world, from Jerusalem, to Berlin, Paris to Los Angeles, and in the new Congress in Washington D.C., empowering feminist, inclusive leadership. Once again reinforcing the themes underlying our documentary project ‘Warriors of the Heart: Women Wage Peace”.
