As most of you may know, The Young Turks is a progressive online news show that has supported the Occupy movement during its peak last year and continues to do so. This time around TYT needs the help and support of the Occupy movement.
For the last three years I've been working with an amazing group of people on the upcoming documentary, 'Mad As Hell: Rise of The Young Turks'. The current cut of the film is being distributed to film festivals around the country, but to fully complete the film we need to raise $100,000 by the end of the month. Currently our campaign has raised $27,000 but we need to raise an extra $73,000 by the end of the month, 11/30/12. The money raised during his campaign will be used to pay for post-production of the film - which means the money will go towards paying editors, a composer, a sound mixer, color correction etc. Which will make the movie more enjoyable to watch, but great deal of money will go towards paying for legal fees, clearances and licenses so the film can be played in theaters, on television, online and on DVDs.
How you can help: Any amount you can contribute is much appreciated and will definitely help us reach our goal, and it will be worth your while. We're offering perks such as DVDs and BLU-RAYs of the film, MAD AS HELL T-SHIRTS, POSTERS signed by Cenk and The Young Turks, and tickets to the exclusive Cast & Crew screening of the film.
Check out the Indiegogo page for more information regarding the film, to contribute and to watch the trailer: http://www.indiegogo.com/madashell
The documentary is by an independent film maker, so this film is about The Young Turks but not by them. We want to keep the film independent and objective hence why we don't want TYT, Current TV or any other company to influence the outcome of the film.
Thank you all for your consideration -Livingonradio13
