How You Can Help!

Besides the obvious financial support you can provide, there are many other ways you can have a positive direct impact on the success of this documentary film, and we graciously welcome your efforts!

However if you are able and willing to make a small (or large) donation to the project, every dollar helps. If we can get to 15-25% funded ($5,000 to $8,000) on our IndieGoGo campaign, according to IndieGoGo advisors we will likely reach our goal with the remainder being funded through their crowdsourcing plaftorm. But we have to show a base of support! It is easier to come aboard when there are already a few passengers. Give $1 or $10, every backer increases our chance of getting featured, potentially on the New York Times!
