One Deadly Summer(1983)

Feature-length documentary that tells the story of young lives devastated by gun crime. Directed by award winning filmmaker Ursula MacFarlane, One Deadly Weekend in America focuses on one ordinary July weekend - typically the time of year when the highest number of Americans are shot and killed.

The Deadly Nightshade is a New England-based rock and country trio consisting of members Anne Bowen, Pamela Brandt, and Helen Hooke, who originally began performing under the name Ariel in 1967, along with Gretchen Pfeifer and Beverly Rodgers. It was one of the earliest all-women rock bands signed to a major label, and an early women's music group. Some early members of the group originally performed as the Moppets.
In 1970, Ariel separated. Bowen then reunited with former bandmates Brandt and Hooke in 1972, to play at a women's festival, now as the Deadly Nightshade. In 1974, the band secured one of the first record contracts as an all-female band to a major label, Phantom/RCA, and went on to release two albums to mixed reviews. They performed at Ms. Magazine's second annual party in 1974. During the height of their success in the mid-seventies, The Deadly Nightshade appeared on Sesame Street, singing its version of the Carter Family hit "Keep on the Sunny Side", as well as several of the band's own songs.

"A truly amazing portrayal of the technical, the emotional, and the courageous. Macy puts the reader in the cockpit of our most lethal attack platform" (Dick Couch, New York Times bestselling author).

Ever since we started huddling together in communities, the story of human history has been inextricably entwined with the story of microbes. They have evolved and spread amongst us, shaping our culture through infection, disease, and pandemic. At the same time, our changing human culture has itself influenced the evolutionary path of microbes. Dorothy H. Crawford here shows that one cannot be truly understood without the other.
