Movie #244 "Beyond Belief" was an excellent documentary (though 30 minutes too long) about these two very different women bonding through grief. What a positive message this film and their Beyond 11th organization sends out ------to help all the widows in afghanistan, of which there are many. It reminded me of the "Three Cups of Tea" and I thought through this film, wouldn't it be amazing if all these groups came together and became a power too big to disregard. That's my wish. If you are interested in what it is like in Afghanistan in 2007 for women, esp., check this film out. Very intriguing.

Beyond Belief
(2006) NR
Two strangers, Patti Quigley and Susan Retik, formed a common bond in their grief when both lost their husbands on Sept. 11, 2001. This documentary chronicles how the two coped with their unimaginable loss, traveling to Afghanistan to meet women there who were also widowed by violence. Director Beth Murphy follows Quigley and Retik as they discover that they share a kinship with their Middle Eastern counterparts, even though they're worlds apart.
