Finger Pointing to the Earth started out as an investigation into the existential significance of the Israeli Palestinian conflict in the Holy Land, 2.5 years ago.
The research is currently focused on land ownership and the consequences of such a fundamental concept in our societal structures. The funding option for this work can be found here.
Hope in a Slingshot was directed, produced, shot and edited by Inka Stafrace, (founder of Polly Tikkle Productions). It was then distributed by Ronin Films who got it accepted for broadcast by the ABC TV of Australia only to have it censored 2 months before its already scheduled airing.
It can now be found in most university libraries and a few high schools in Australia. smhtv.com and agetv.com and the national archives all have it on line for viewing in full for free in Australia. For the rest of the world it can be viewed on vimeo. The DVD can be purchased from Ronin Films.
War and corrupted democracies are well funded as are its promoters.
Peace and its associated journalism is not sadly.
Polly Tikkle Productions needs a new camera as the definition of 'broadcast quality gets higher and higher.
Currently there are two fundraising initiatives.
One is fundraising for Finger Pointing to the Earth and in turn the Occupy feature.
The other is for Polly Higgins' Wish 20 campaign.
