One interesting fact about the Documentary project is that it is being created by a former NYC Police Officer who himself is disabled. Bringing a unique perspective to the Documentary that would be difficult to label it unfair or one-sided. What is discovered or revealed in the interviews and investigations will expose whatever it exposes. The producer makes no preconceived notions about the outcome of what the story will be nor will it be slanted in any manner. To make it happen we will be attempting to get organizations and Companies to support our efforts as best they can through financial or other support to help make the documentary happen. We also are looking for victims with disabilities of Police Brutality nationwide (Worldwide) but especially in the NYC area (Within Driving Distance of NYC) for LIVE interviews. But ALL are welcome to respond as this is a NATIONAL (Worldwide) issue and we want to represent that. If interested in participating with your story or help in getting other organizations or Companies involved please submit the Notice of Interest to me at the email listed below./p
