I watched Rionne's film and was stunned at how good it was--educational and moving, it deserves as wide an audience as possible. It's clear we are watching the emergence of a first rate cinematic story teller. I'm eager to see Rionne does next.
This is heartbreaking. Single moms definitely need more support. I teach free English lessons to kids growing up in protective care homes in Japan through the nonprofit, JOEE.jp - most children are in the care homes (jidoyogoshisetsu) as a result of domestic violence, abuse and neglect. Often the mothers are aware of the abuse for a while but are afraid to break away from the abuser. Being a single mom is so difficult here. I would be interested in helping to set up fun, JOEE lessons for kids who are growing up in single-parent households as well. Let me know if you can connect me with any institutions. We currently offer lessons at six different facilities from Nagoya to Tokyo. ruth@joee.jp
