Behind These Walls Date-Line intervew

I am selling the rights to the true story of my investigation into the murder of my young nephew.

When I was eight years old my oldest brother was brutally beaten by police. It was a time of great unrest and race riots and none of my family members would seek justice. At the time of my nephew's death in April of 1999 I was a full-time College student. I would later drop out to fully investigate the case. It took me more than four years to find out what actually happend but I did. The story is chilling to say the least. I won't go into to many details of what I found out but I will say that almost all of the more than fifteen guards lied, and a good portion of the video tape is till missing I will tell you whay in a query or manuscript.

There is a Date-Line interview done back in 2004 on the case. The video footage is about eight to ten minutes long and can be found at koskoff and bieder (scroll down to the box that reads Date-Line interview with John Hockenberry, click on video, and watch the interview). It is disturbing to say the least and this is why I believe that a story should be told about what happend and could easily happen to anyone. It would be very interesting for any filmmaker who is serious about social justice issues I assure you.

If there is anyone who needs a project such as this one contact me through email for further info.
