Hi Patte I'might a producer, writer, director from Mumbai & am sending my short "Mementos" to your festival right away & I'll hope for the best. Thanks. Renuka Shahane.

Potus can't do any legislation. Congress writes the laws. That is why the immigrants pressured POTUS into acting with executive orders on their behalf because Congress refused to legislate a path to citizenship to them. They spoke up. The squeaky wheel got the juice. Potus's executive orders now has Congress having to address it. Women in arts should take a page from the undocumented immigrants who refused to be denied legislation when Potus can do Executive orders if Congress won't act when citizens are being treated unfairly. Women have been treated unfairly in all aspects of life from what I have seen in my 60 years of living. However, we sit back and don't tilt the boat or speak up for ourselves as a big voice waiting on someone else to speak up for us leaving us vulnerable to no action because of no numbers. Unfortunately, politicians make the laws and legislate. Politicians look for numbers. If the numbers show hundreds on a petition for a cause, it is viewed as millions against it and tabled. Congress needs to see millions of women standing up for themselves meaning there is enough that can affect them with their unsatisfied vote.
