Her Film/Her Story:
"Between Us" deals with the intersection of feminism, sexual identity  
and religious culture. It examines women's control of their bodies  
and command of public space, and the reality of Jewish on Jewish  
violence. I traveled to Jerusalem in September 1999 and filmed until  
September 2000. At the end of my stay in Israel I was raped. This  
story is about going back to confront my perpetrator and take back  
the part of me that was left behind.
 From 2002-2005, Nancy was a founding editor and Creative Director of  
Heeb Magazine, where she also curated photography features and wrote  
feature articles... Nancy also founded the non-profit, non- 
governmental educational website, NYC-Safestreets.org which creates  
maps to alerts pedestrians, especially women, to routes that will  
enhance their travel safety. NYC-Safestreets.org serves as a gateway  
to connect businesses, community activities and citizens who are  
working towards building safe communities.
