  This film is a MOST accurate account of HER-story. You will only find patriarchal violence in the war filled HIS-story books supplied to schools. It is no surprise that males are disgruntled over this film's exposee of TRUTH, as they have a need to dominate by might is right, as we see all over this poor suffering patriarchally abused world.

  This is a paragraph from an essay I wrote about this film: With respect to the importance of feminism, this film portrays it and feminist archaeology in a rather faulty manner. At the beginning of the film, today’s society was portrayed as highly degraded as a result of ignorance of the goddess and the change to a male-oriented religion. Also that agriculture and the domestication of animals were a construct of feminine influence and not that of both men and women. Then later, the change from an egalitarian to a hierarchical and war-based society was attributed to men taking over the way of life; how the conqueror has replaced the nurturer. Granted this film does have its good points, the amount of bias it contains remains prevalent. It is difficult to follow along when men are being blamed for all of the bad things suggested by the women and the narrator. Instead of promoting the importance of the feminine figure in past and present societies and how they worked with their opposite sex, they indirectly established a further distinction between men and women.

  Powerfully filmed, spoken, scored and organized---I hope every citizen of Earth comes to see this film. We need desperately what it knows and shows. Fellow Westerners may like to know much more of the Minoans of Crete through discoveries of their lunar/solar calendar system (which makes their symbols, religion and extraordinary society freshly understandable)---see "Calendar House: Clues to Minoan Time from Knossos Labyrinth" at ANCIENTLIGHTS.ORG

  I'm not trying to take away from this meeting/conference, but, what of all the wymon who are living ordinary lives? What about us? I have raised 7, yes, seven, children. What about us?

  My friend has long told me to see this. I think it's beautifully conceived and presented. It's a little frightening to see the erosion of a society at harmony with itself and the natural world, that does not proclaim: Be fruitful and subdue the earth.
