Filmmaker Iara Lee was on the Mavi Marmara. She was able to conceal some of her film and made a documentary about the Freedom Flotilla and the Israeli attack. This film however, is not about the Marmara, it's as described below, about art and creativity in the struggle for justice.

More About "Hey, Boo: Harper Lee & To Kill A Mockingbird"
Harper Lee's first and only novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, became an instant classic when it was published in 1960, and the film version starring Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch won a trio of Academy Awards. It is still required reading in most classrooms, and sells nearly a million copies every year. "Hey, Boo: Harper Lee & To Kill A Mockingbird" (First Run Features, 2011) chronicles how Lee was able to write such a work, the context and history of the Deep South where it is set, Lee's family background, and the social change the novel inspired after its publication.
Tom Brokaw, Rosanne Cash, Wally Lamb, Anna Quindlen, Richard Russo, Scott Turow, Oprah Winfrey, Andrew Young and others reflect on the novel's power, influence, and popularity, and the many ways it has shaped their lives and careers. Although Lee has not given an interview since 1964, Mary McDonagh Murphy's reporting, research and rare interviews with the author's friends and 99-year-old sister Alice add new details and never-before-seen documents and photos to the remarkable story of the Mockingbird phenomenon. Many speak on the record for the first time ever, sharing intimate recollections, anecdotes, and biographical details, including new information about Lee's tumultuous friendship with Truman Capote.
Murphy is an independent fimmaker and the author of Scout, Atticus & Boo: A Celebration of To Kill A Mockingbird, published by Harper Collins. She was a producer for CBS News for 20 years, where she won six Emmy Awards.

New Study Finds iPad is Cure for Adultery; Owners ‘Stop Noticing Other People Altogether’

According to the study, commissioned by Apple, Inc., iPad use disrupts what scientists agree are the necessary first stages of extramarital sex: “noticing, admiring, and talking to other people.”
The study, which was conducted on a sample of one thousand iPad owners, found that not only did iPad use make them thoroughly uninterested in extramarital sex, “their nonstop talking about the amazing features and apps on their iPads made them completely unattractive to potential sex partners as well.”
The study also indicated that iPad owners are far less likely to have sex with the people they are married to, but that in two-iPad couples “neither partner seems to care.”
The new findings about the iPad drew widespread praise for the tablet device, including an official seal of approval from the National Association of Housekeepers and Maids.
