Understanding Elder Abuse

Messages from the Universe will be hosting author, filmmaker, and social advocate Pamela Glasner on Friday, July 24, 2020, at 3 pm eastern as she talks about her critically-acclaimed documentary about the financial exploitation of the elderly, starring the late Hollywood icon, Mickey Rooney. The show will be aired live https://www.blogtalkradio.com/messagesfromtheuniverse/2020/07/24/messages-from-the-universe or by calling into (845) 241-9942. The show will also be available for playback in the archives.

Inspired by true-life events in her own family, the film premièred in Manhattan in April 2012 to a standing-room-only house. It has since won international awards and has been screened at festivals, conferences, and symposiums all over the world.in addition to “Last Will and Embezzlement”, Ms. Glasner also produced a rockumentary called “Madder Than A Full Moon Dog”, a film based on her former company’s annual heavy-metal music festival in Leeds, England.

Ms. Glasner also wrote several short stories, including “The Calicoon,” a thriller set in a decaying old hotel in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, and “Wrong Side of the Pond”, a tale of sibling rivalry so extreme, it leads to kidnap and murder. Ms. Glasner plans to eventually publish an anthology of all her short stories. Her full-length novel, admittedly her favorite of all her works is “Finding Emmaus,” a historically and factually accurate fiction/fantasy which explores the treatment and mistreatment of the mentally ill over the course of about 350 years, and how society marginalizes and victimizes those deemed to be ‘different’ (aka ‘less than’). Ms. Glasner’s non-fiction book, “Silver and Gold” was written in honor of her deceased parents and released on what would have been her father’s 93rd birthday.

Originally from New York City, born in 1953, Ms. Glasner moved to Connecticut with her family at eighteen. A Dean’s List student, she graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University with a degree in English and secondary education, with concentrations in both psychology and sociology. She has also returned to the world of academia to work on her post-graduate degree in Literature and Creative Writing at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She attributes her love of architecture and antique restoration—two aspects of her life which are woven into the fabric of “Finding Emmaus” — to her grandfather who, after emigrating to the US from Austria in the 1920’s, became an iron worker and joined the ranks of those who left their legacy in the form of New York City’s incomparable skyline. But her real hero, though gone nearly forty years, is still her grandmother, whose strength, courage and unfailing faith taught her that “nothing andno one can keep you from your heart’s desire without your permission and your cooperation.” Ms. Glasner resides in rural Connecticut where she continues working on several new projects, including a musical play which has been endorsed by none other than one of the original Nederlander brothers, the world-famous Broadway producers. She is a proud member of the Writer’s Guild of America, the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, and the CT Historical Society. Additionally, Ms. Glasner is a Registered Reader at the Royal Society of London and the British Library.

Until You Walk the Path, You Won’t Know Where it Goes is an interactive internet radio show, which takes a broader look at the topic of spirituality. Instead of focusing on the religious aspects of life, it delves into how our spirits inspire us to be our best and highest selves. The goal is to give a venue to those who wish to share their inspiration, their wisdom and their courage. By sharing our experiences, we not only give encouragement others to reach for their dreams, but to also help them to be achieved.
