Mother's Day (2007)

MOTHER'S DAY chronicles women activists and grieving mothers. They heed Julia Ward Howe's 1870 hallmark call to action as they gather on Mother's Day 2006 to voice a message not found on any greeting card: 'Mothers say NO to war!' The documentary weaves the historic origins of Mother's Day into a contemporary exploration of women united to end war. As thousands join with actress, Susan Sarandon, and activist Cindy Sheehan for the Women for Peace vigil, Howe's eloquent proclamation resonates with a force undiminished by time.
