STOP~WATCH & Respond
(SWR) has collaborated with Kekoon Publishing and
Kekoon Book Publishing in the raising of approximately 750k to complete, produce and market this project. This funding will be used to film the documentary, in Savannah,GA and New York as well as complete the integrated publication of the book. The dual headed purpose of the documentary is [a] To light the fire of awareness nationally on the devastation resulting from child abuse, child neglect and it's fatalities. [b] To reveal the urgent need for nation wide victim recovery which will inevitably diminish the effects of traumatic abuse. It is vital to note that 100% of the documentary’s proceeds will be used to establish the first ground breaking National Center for Holistic Abuse Recovery, a sliding scale retreat on 54 acres of prime Savannah realty. This center and it’s surroundings will assist in the stimulation of physical, mental and emotional wellness throughout our society as well as being an economic boost in Savannah.
This independent film, which is scheduled to be distributed across the country in 2009, will be using SCAD students as interns under our professional production team. We currently have nods of encouragement and support from key members of society, major developers and residents of the area.
This is a great cause to support which will leave a permanent legacy here in Savannah and within our nation. We project that SWR will be a licensed 501-C3, qualifying for grants and tax deductible donations within six months.
