film review- In the Valley of Elah

Emily Sanders: And so David went down into the valley to challenge Goliath...
David Sanders: D’you think he was scared Mom?
Emily Sanders: Yes. I think he was scared.
’In the Valley of Elah’ is a film about a former US sergeant who works with a police detective to uncover the truth behind his son’s disappearance following his son’s return from a tour of duty in Iraq. This is not a movie about the heroism of soldiers sent to war, and it is not simply another patriotic American war film. Instead it is based on a true story, highlighting the horror of war, the cruelty of war and depths of human nature.This is not another war film played out on the PlayStation. This convincing portrayal of barbarity makes ‘In the Valley of Elah’.

I have got Diploma of Social Skills and Journalist. As a Journalist I specialise in news stories. For three years, I was a co-originator and writer with 2B North East, a monthly magazine published by the North East Polish Community. I am proud about the fact, that 2B Magazine was permanently placed in the Discovery Museum as a symbol of Polish immigrants in North East. As a Journalist Freelancer I also cooperative with BBC and Polish media. As I was involved in the European Social Fund Programme. In collaboration with The North East Strategic Migration Partnership when the University of Sunderland was leading a two-year research project to test and deliver solutions to the employment and skills issues facing The North East as population trends change.I was invited by ROSA Production Ltd to support Ridley Scott's Project called „Britain in A Day" Together with Healthy Communities Collaborative Facilitator we prepared two projects called ‘Sensible Woman’ and “Sensible Man” in which we were co-operating with the NHS, the SAGE Theatre, and the ‘McMillan’ organisation and also with Newcastle United and local media. The projects helped raise awareness of male and female illness which affects many thousands of men and women around the world. I was responsible for the festival’s Health Campaign, which included a well-attended Women’s Breast Cancer Awareness event with invited guest speaker and health professionals. I delivered feedback on this event in a paper I recently gave at the World Class Commissioning and Migrant Health Conference. I have also been very invoked in helping other Polish people integrate with their local communities in the North East, for this it is important for me to have excellent communication skills. I was also coordinator of Made in Poland Festival. weber.marlena@gmail.com (0044) 7872526175
