Unheard Voices Project

We’re calling it: The Unheard Voices Project: An Oral History of the War on Drugs & the American Criminal Justice System.

There will be a premiere screening party in San Francisco next month. Each of you will receive an invitation, and I hope to see as many of you there as is possible.

As with all projects of this scope, not everyone I interviewed will make it into the first film (although all extended interviews will be posted in the archive for viewing). Taking into consideration over 100 hours of footage from just the first 55 interviews alone is a staggering task. And there are still many cuts to be made. But, as of this email, here’s a list of who is presently in the cut we’re working with (subject to change).

Sanho Tree
