> Thanks so much for your message and for getting the word out to your

support group. I have found one women in my area - I am in New York City -

but I would like to hear as many stories as possible.

> The focus of my film is an investigative look at what has happened with

implants. My mother got silicone implants and became ill. For me it was a

natural conclusion that the implants may be the cause but that assumption

was met with such denial. I started filming interviews with women who are

sick. I have interviewed doctors, members of the media, the FDA. I am

trying to bring light to the distortion of the truth around this issue and

give the women who have been harmed a voice.

> I have funded this project through grants and I am now in talks with a few

broadcasters. I hope to use the support groups of women around the country

when the film is done to help organize screenings in major cities and

generate publicity.

E-mail me at CCLeyva@...
