(Mahwah) – Lisa Gossels, president of Good Egg Productions, Inc., screened part of an early rough-cut of her film “Imagining Peace” at Ramapo College of New Jersey Monday, October 27, 2008. Over 200 students and community members attended the event.

>Gossels’ full-length documentary film takes us into the world of a group of Israeli and Palestinian teenage girls who participated in a women’s leadership program called Building Bridges for Peace in 2002. The film follows the lives of six of the participants four years after the program ended as, according to Gossels, “the young women cross the threshold from adolescence to adulthood… What makes this film unique is that it is really about what happens to the six participants after the program ends.”

Lisa Gossels is the producer, co-director and co-editor of the Emmy award-winning documentary film, “The Children of Chabannes” (1999). Made with Dean Wetherell, it was invited to 50 film festivals and won 10 awards. A veteran of the New York film industry, Ms. Gossels is a graduate of Brown University and of New York University’s Film Certificate Program.

In addition to the Center, the History Club and Communication Arts Major co-sponsored the program with the support of the Office of Student Affairs Platinum Series.
