Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. - Martin Luther King Jr.

Please help us launch our worldwide campaign: Justice for Paco, Justice for All.

Paco has been in jail for nearly 15 years for a crime he did not commit. He was a 19-year-old cooking student when he was illegally arrested in the Philippines. Now he is a 33-year-old man, wrongfully incarcerated in a Spanish prison. His innocence is obvious and unquestionable. His case has been championed by the United Nations Human Rights Committee, Amnesty International, Fair Trials International, Reprieve, and bar associations throughout Spain - yet he remains in prison.

What can we do to help Paco now?

We need to make some noise in Europe and Pacos team feels that Give Up Tomorrow is the most powerful tool they have to bring him home soon. Beginning in September, we plan to screen throughout the region, including Spain, where Paco is in jail. But simply screening the film is not enough. We need to have an organized campaign in place in conjunction with the legal efforts. Help us launch the Justice for Paco campaign by joining our IndieGoGo campaign.

Bring Paco home for Christmas!

The hardest part of this job is asking others for help, but we are constantly reminding ourselves that its not for us its for Paco. He has been in jail since he was 19, and in December he will turn 34. Our dream is to bring him home for Christmas this year, to celebrate outside with his family for the first time in 15 years. With your help I know we can do it. But we need to act quickly because we are running out of time.

If we dont grab the attention of the public and politicians all over Europe this fall, especially Spain, we will have missed an opportunity that well never have again.

Join our team and be the first to get the Give Up Tomorrow DVD when it is released. If everyone contributes a little bit, we can easily reach (and exceed) our goal. And with each contribution you receive great perks, such as a DVD of Give Up Tomorrow.

What will the funds be used for?

We need to turn the idea of the Justice for Paco campaign into a tangible movement with event screenings, a comprehensive website, online videos, media outreach, printed materials and specific calls to action that are monitored and coordinated by a team. Working with Pacos legal team, our NGO partners (Amnesty International, Fair Trials International, Reprieve) and Cultural Front Productions, we have laid all the groundwork over the past few months to have a successful campaign. Now, as the film is gaining momentum, is the time to take action.

Every time we leave Paco he holds his fist up and says One big fight! We are so grateful that with each screening, Pacos army of supporters is getting bigger, and Pacos family is no longer fighting alone.

Thank you for all your kindness, encouragement and continued support.

With much love,

Michael and Marty
