Stigma Busters
Shadow Voices: Contact ABC Stations
From December 4, 2005, through February 4, 2006, local ABC-TV stations
will be showing -- at their discretion -- Shadow Voices: Finding Hope in
Mental Illness, a one-hour documentary about stigma, spirituality, and
recovery that features interviews with several NAMI consumers and family
leaders.

Local stations will decide for themselves whether and when to broadcast
the documentary. Local broadcast dates are listed on the Shadow Voices Web
site, along with a list of the "voices" included in the
documentary and excerpts from their interviews.

If your ABC station is not listed, please contact the station manager or
programming director through the ABC network Web site to encourage them to
air Shadow Voices, an ABC "Vision and Values" documentary
produced by the National Council of Churches, before the February 4
deadline. Let stations know that people in your community are eager to see
the documentary. Offer to help publicize the broadcast date through
local NAMIs, churches, or other networks.

It is also important to thank stations already on the list, even those
stations that have scheduled the
documentary to air after midnight or before dawn. Expressions of community
support for even marginal time slots will help influence later programming
decisions involving mental illness topics. Let stations know
that people are eager to see the film.
Copies of the documentary will also be available after December 15, 2005,
in VHS ($19.95) or DVD ($24.95) format, plus shipping and handling. Call
Mennonite Media at 1- 800/999-3534 for more information. |
