Documentary film director Maryann Manelski released a trio of films called the Secret Maps Project. Produced by Elm Films, The Secret Maps Project advocates for the continued support of bereavement groups as well as providing material to act as a guidepost for the grieving. The objectives of the Project are ones which the National Widowers’ Organization supports. We invite widowers and professionals to view these extraordinary works by taking advantage of the access Ms. Manelski has made available to us.
