Every gift helps us create awareness about the very real impact of mass incarceration on people of color and the poor.

We are native southern filmmakers creating a two-part project; a scripted short film and a documentary.

It’s our goal to shine a light on the inequality towards people of color and the poor in southern states by for-profit prison systems, and hope that these stories stimulate authentic conversations so that our communities can find ways to encourage and facilitate permanent criminal justice reform.  

A CRY FOR HELP: SHORT FILM
Shot in March this year in Shreveport, LA our short film is currently in post-production.  Written, produced, and directed by an experienced Louisiana team, the film will be headed for a festival run ahead of its use to stimulate community conversations for criminal justice reform.

Logline:  When a man of color is convicted of a crime he did not commit, his life and death hang in the hands of a woman too afraid to stand for truth. 

A CRY FOR HELP: DOCUMENTARY
Telling the real-life stories about the effects of mass incarceration, our documentary (which is in production) – as told by attorneys, judges, community advocates, those wrongly imprisoned or over-incarcerated, and by repeat  offenders – will be used as a means to engage communities in the conversation focused on positive change.

Your donation will be applied directly to post-production and marketing costs, and – thanks to our fiscal sponsor – is tax-deductible.
