Interviews
Had a very good interview with Bernice Eisenstein. Unfortunately it has stopped working sometime after October 28th, 2011.
Other media Appearances
Fortunately Eisenstein has made other media appearances. One of the more recent is her involvement in an animated adaption of her memoir. Eisenstein narrates her memoir in this adaption directed by Fleming. More information for this movie can be found here Below will be some clips and we recommend seeing the whole thing (it’s very good).

Yes, do see it. There is some symbolism and such that isn't in the book (not as directly). The animation is really great and so is the music. Eisenstein can narrate really well.
If you want to buy it, go here:

(click on Canada for home use, then type into the search bar the title or Eisenstein). It's only about $15 right now and well worth it.

Sorry for the double post.
I agree with you Amy, the animation for this is absolutely gorgeous. I've been trying to find more clips of it, and to my luck, I actually found a small trailer.

It's so simple and short, but it holds a great deal of meaning and context to Bernice's book. Almost moved me to tears. It is our bad luck that we missed out on a showing of this film on November 2nd! it was in Toronto too! I'm kicking myself about this.
