Our Story

Our filming project is a true story based on the life of Boxer Zeke Wilson, a man who took on a legal case that became the precedent for all legal findings of same race discrimination. This story involves a common man who found himself faced with racial discrimination. My goal is to start by capturing the story of his struggle, triumph; determination and perseverance so each of us can take a new look at these issues that are always at the surface in the daily lives of a diverse population. By putting the issues boldly in our faces we can force a confrontation between our own values to show the rights that the American people are guaranteed by the Constitution. This is a gripping story that begs to be told and we need your help to make it happen.

The Impact

It forces each of us to take a new look at these issues that are always at the surface in the daily lives of a diverse population, how racism affects how we live. My goal is to make a positive impact by showcasing this on camera - allowing people to see the struggles that lead to the triumphs. 

What We Need & What You Get

Our campaign is to raise enough money to start filming a documentary trailer. We will be traveling around the country interviewing all the people involved in Zeke’s life and we need your help. We will be documenting all the stories told through this struggle that lead to his triumph. At this point, we need at least $5000 to start our journey...
