Daughter of Flint, Michigan, granddaughter of Eastern European Jewish immigrants and an early activist, White discovered film as a forger of social change and community building when producing Roger and <\/em>Me with fellow Flint resident, Michael Moore, in 1986. Three decades as a psychotherapist and a mosaic of experience working to oppose violence, abuse and discrimination created her vision of Zeitouna\u2019s story as a model for others. refusing to be enemies: the zeitouna story<\/em><\/strong> is White’s thirteenth film. Integral to every film project is White\u2019s determination to integrate long-term community building into the art form\u2019s collaborative process. Her pivotal position as a founding Zeitouna member and its trusted documentarian are reasons for the film\u2019s intimate and authentic quality.  White likens the light of wisdom and transformation that yoga sheds on life to the \u201clight\u201d that Zeitouna has brought to its twelve female members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
