Ferguson, MO -- August 26th: “Prior to the launch of his film campaign, Director Jason Pollock spent the time to travel to St. Louis and meet with us to discuss his project in-depth. After several meetings, I truly believe in his character, his heart and his story and want our community to know that we stand with this filmmaker.

My son died a year ago now, and there are still many unanswered questions about his death. We applaud Mr. Pollock for taking up this case to bring some justice to my son’s name. We encourage everyone to watch this powerful trailer and support this Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign.

During meetings with Jason, we have heard the research and investigative facts that he has discovered, and we know that the world needs to hear them as well.

My family will also be giving this production team exclusive interviews for the project with facts the public doesn’t know, so be sure to follow this campaign, and watch out for this film when it’s done.

Additionally, I want to let everyone know that this production has already committed a portion of the proceeds of his film project to my family, the legal defense fund, and to others in the Ferguson community. Our hope is this project can bring justice to my son’s name and help to move Ferguson forward.

With the one-year anniversary of my son’s death just past, now more than ever is the time to push back on the current public narrative that has been created. Michael was a good boy and a moral person. More people need to know the truth about his death. We look forward to Mr. Pollock’s film bringing light to the beautiful person that our son was. “

We wanted to use crowd-funding to get this project done so that the people have a say in how this will come out instead of corporations or big pocket donors. We have found that many times when you take money from these groups to make your work, they dilute your message and change what you are trying to say. Out of respect to this important story we wanted to make this film ourselves, and to do that we are humbly looking for the world to support us. We also know that millions of people around the world want justice for Mike Brown and his family, and so we wanted to give everyone on this planet an opportunity to help support this mission and message. Indiegogo is the perfect place for us to announce this historic campaign for JUSTICE!

On August 9th 2014, an unarmed 18-year-old boy named Michael Brown was murdered by a police officer named Darren Wilson. From the very moment that Michael's body hit the pavement that day a carefully crafted campaign of misinformation, manipulation, and outright lying has taken place by the Ferguson Police Department, the St Louis Police Department, and the St Louis Prosecutor's office.

The 24/7 right wing media have constantly perpetuated these lies, and they were so well crafted that they tricked CNN and MSNBC into false reporting the issue over and over again.

Sadly, because of all this distortion, the average American thinks that justice was served to Michael Brown, and Darren Wilson should be a free man. These views could not be further from the truth.

A dedicated group of Ferguson activists, who have been following every detail of this case, have joined forces to produce a feature documentary that will not only reveal cover-up of this murder, but also show America what really happened that day in Ferguson, MO.


Through archival footage, shot footage, and exhaustive research, this film will show how the Ferguson Police Department destroyed evidence and worked with the prosecutor to cover this all up. This film will explain the corrupt nature of witness 40, who was used by the Prosecutor to lie under oath about seeing the shooting. We will also show the manipulative and racist way that the police department leaked evidence to smear Michael’s name, and so many more turns the case took away from justice.

The film will also detail the story of racism and white supremacy in the Ferguson area so that everyone understand that the protests which took place in the wake of Michael's death were not just a random incident, but a straw breaking a camel’s back after hundreds of years of racism in a region.

This film will blow the roof off the current narrative which America and the globe have been fed around Ferguson. People need to get the truth about this international story, and this film will be the counter-narrative that everyone needs to hear.
