I have created the following thread by request in the Breaking News section, with permission granted by me after verification of authenticity, for a legitimate filmmaker covering the subject of urban improvement. This film is expected to be released in about 4 months. The participation of this board's membership is sought and may even be included in the film. It is seeking the wide set of different perspectives and views that one may have on this topic. Here is the poster by introduction who is leading this effort:

With four months left until the film is complete, I am seeking a diverse array of feedback and policy suggestions, which might very well end up in the film.

Here is a short sample.

Thank you very much

Having filmed so intimately on issues of violence, the findings are extremely human, transcend race and should inspire competent/responsible action. In so many ways looking within America’s obstacles has brought out extraordinary patriotism and bravery by so many. It has also revealed great flaws within our ability to effectively engage and provide responsible/meaningful improvement.

With the trust of so many, it has always been my intent to create a vast network of engaged individuals, which can take an action and mandate improvement. Be it for guns, against guns, for legalization or against – the board’s own ideology can set meaningful objectives, take appropriate action within their geographic location, share information, aid individuals, tell stories, discover flaws and through action, improve the country and her domestic policies.

That is the prime agenda of the film. Clearly, I am not the person to lead this.. But I wonder, what a topic on the forum dedicated to improvement and THE SWEETEST LAND initiative would look like? Moreover, since you were willing to engage, what might the collaboration of a mass of social networking energy, along with a film, which screams for social improvement and competent engagement moderated by you be like..and how much good can we do?

With over 3 years of filming, my motivation is to honor the trust of so many who I have filmed, along with the families of children, (some who I have filmed die), who were trusting enough to believe that telling their story and releasing that footage would make a difference.

The film will begin testing in about 4 months.

Thank you very much
The usual rules of the debate forum will be respected, but anything that provides useful commentary will be helpful whether it be discussion or debate between the filmer and any other poster given the purpose of the film.

Honest opinions, discussions, debate and input is sought so please do so. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT a thread for any trolling, baiting, etc...you know the drill about the difference. It's already part of the rules in this forum and especially this forum, so please keep follow the purpose and decorum.
