SOULMATE Documentary Clips to Air on NBC Nightly News



SOULMATE will be featured on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 in their five part series, 'African American Women: Where They Stand.' Rehema Ellis will look at the relationships of African American women. Many agree the gender disparity in education and business among African-Americans is having an effect on relationships that African American women have. Some even say the implications could redefine 'Black America's family and social structure.' In the past fifty years, the percentage of African-American women between 25-54 who have never been married, has doubled from 20% to 40%, compared to just 16% of white women.



"I am encouraged that NBC Nightly News has chosen to provide a national platform for these critical issues facing African American women. In truth, these issues affect all Americans," states SOULMATE director, Andrea Wiley, a married mother of two sons.



SOULMATE recently received the award for Best Documentary at the International Black Film Festival of Nashville, making this its 7th film festival award. The film has also received both the Audience Choice and Best Feature Film Awards at the African-American Women in Cinema Film Festival in New York, the Audience Choice Award at the Sweet Auburn International Film Festival in Atlanta, GA and took home the Best Documentary Awards at the Hollywood Black Film Festival in Beverly Hills, CA, the San Francisco Christian Film Festival and the Urban Vestige Film Festival in New York City.



In addition to the film festival circuit, SOULMATE has been sweeping the globe with church screenings in Nigeria, London, the Caribbean and renowned singles ministries such as Dr. Fred Prices' Crenshaw Christian Center, T.D. Jakes' Potter's House, Bishop Eddie Long's New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and Rev. Dr. Cynthia Hale's Ray Of Hope Christian Church.


    


"I believe that SOULMATE has become such an impacting change agent in this culture because people can relate to the women and men in the film. Their candor and transparency invites you into their hearts and gives you permission to be honest about the experiences, emotions and fears you tend not to share with others," states Wiley.



SOULMATE explores the fact that 42.3% of Black American women have never been married and examines the challenges resulting from prolonged singleness and how this phenomenon arose within Black American culture. The film also offers practical advice on such issues as loneliness, the biological clock, the desire for sexual intimacy and the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This deeply personal journey offers glimpses into the trials and triumphs of the lives of accomplished, professional Black women who are finding purpose while single. Additionally, the film profiles Black women who married after age 40 and shares their journeys to the altar.
