Barren Grounds Documentary Film Launch Campaign

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to visit this campaign fundraiser! We have spent months on research and development, and now we are ready to hit the road and roll our cameras. This initial campaign will help cover expenses for my crew and me to travel to New England, Ottawa, and Seattle to begin filming interviews with key players in this incredible story. And if we raise enough funds, I will take a bare-bones crew up to Canada to retrace the steps of the expedition. Thank You!
