The WORLD MOTHER STORYTELLING PROJECT is a global, listening and storytelling movement that aims to encourage empathy, respect and understanding of the essential role mothers perform in family and society. The Project seeks to transform global narratives of mothers and motherhood through listening and telling stories. Powered by Murray Nossel’s Listening and Storytelling methodology, the Project emphasizes the reciprocal relationship between listening and telling as a means for personal and social change. By accessing the knowledge found in mothers’ stories, the World Mother Storytelling Project will address the inequalities experienced by mothers, utilizing their voices as agents of change, individually, socially, and politically. A World Mother Storytelling Library will serve as a multi-vocal and multimedia platform for mother stories to be documented, archived, and shared publicly.

Murray is currently working on distribution of his film, SALA. Sixteen year old Sala volunteered to go to a Nazi labor camp in place of her older sister. Surviving  five years of imprisonment, she kept secret a diary and more than 350 letters she received while enslaved. Fifty years later, facing open-heart surgery, she gave her cache to her daughter, reigniting the voices of those she lost.
