FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Shlomo Kabakov Phone: 97253806764 E-mail: info@essenfilms.com INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS DOCUMENTARY FILM CHARGED WITH VIOLATING HUMAN AND ANIMAL RIGHTS Jerusalem-Israel -- (MINDSET NETWIRE) -- November 28, 2000 -- "The Seven Universal Laws" provokes waves of shock and outrage throughout the world. Yesterday, protest against the film became particularly aggressive, as activists took the offensive, allegedly letter-bombing the electronic mailbox of Essen Films, (www.essenfilms.com) producers of the documentary, shutting down its website completely. According to Gary Shutrack, of the NPO, Women's rights and Animal protection groups are up in arms against the newly released film. When asked what the outcry is about, he said, "This film is offensive to certain people. The graphic scenes it contains may be considered shocking and its statements have been called dangerous and disturbing. It can only be characterized as criminal. Our office is determined to fight it any way we can." The film, "The Seven Universal Laws," purports that the Seven Universal Laws were given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and attempts to show how they can be used to obtain happiness, health, wealth, and success. While doing so, it unabashedly clashes head on with pro-abortionists and homosexuals, labeling their respective practices as sin -- while also depicting ritual murder of animals. The widely acclaimed ground-breaking documentary reveals the God-given ways to revolutionalize your relationships, achieve wealth and to fulfill your purpose in life. The documentary film has a guest appearance by Vendl Jones - biblical archaeologist and real-life model for the Steven Spielberg character, "Indiana Jones." When asked to comment against the allegations of offensive content, Filmmaker Nehemiah Abeles replied, "I stand completely behind everything I said in the film. God makes the rules -- not us." "We embarked on making this film to transmit the truth," said Abeles. "Most all of the problems people have are due to violations of the Seven Universal Laws. By learning what these laws are Ñ and applying them to everyday situations -- you can (I believe) obtain a divinely blessed, successful life."
