Speaking of Ken, his wife Susan Pak worked on a documentary, A Walk to Beautiful, which opens at the Quad Cinemas in Manhattan next Friday, February 8. Here’s the synopsis:

The award-winning, feature-length documentary A Walk to Beautiful tells the stories of five Ethiopian women who suffer from devastating childbirth injuries and embark on a journey to reclaim their lost dignity. Rejected by their husbands and ostracized by their communities, these women are left to spend the rest of their lives in loneliness and shame. They make the choice to take the long and arduous journey to the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in search of a cure and a new life.

The documentary has already won awards at film festivals in Barcelona, Denver, San Francisco, and St. Louis. Please check it out. Here’s a link to their site.
