The Video Project
VIDEO PROJECT
A call for anyone skilled at working on a video project for the internet, either for U-Tube, a website or both. The videos would show the stories of those on the registry that would play sympathetically to the public; young offenders, offenders with stupid or silly charges, such as public urination, mooning, cases of false accusations that are blatant miscarriages of justice, or just cases where people would be able to see the law running roughshod over someone. It would be good to have as many examples in each category as possible, i.e. downloading porn, Romeo and Juliet cases, et cetera.
The most important thing we need for this is volunteers who are willing to tell their story, or a family member or friend who can tell the story for them. Images can be masked or blured and voice altered to prootect identities. The presentation will include educational material with the video about the laws and registry.
Anyone with theater, public speaking, or produciton background will be an asset in this project.
This is a big project and we need people committed to making it happen. If we had an ongoing video on line called “I am a Sex Offender” and people were attracted to it and became educated, it could become a phenomenon to counter the hysteria, and public sentiment could turn our way.
