These women are receiving unprecedented educational and spiritual training, and helping to preserve their rich cultural heritage even as they slowly reshape it. director Bari Pearlman is a Manhattan-based independent producer, director, and writer. In addition to recently completing DAUGHTERS OF WISDOM she is currently in production on A PERIOD PIECE about women's relationships to menstruation, and is producing a feature documentary about UP WITH PEOPLE.
