INSIDE JUSTICE: Slim's Chance emerged out of the documentary A Violence Disrupted. INSIDE JUSTICE is a multi-part documentary that explores the criminal justice system through one individual's crime story and focuses on the case of 'Slim'. It takes the viewer on a journey through the eyes of an unlikely participant asking questions like "If someone is considered a criminal by the age of 23, does that mean they can never be reformed?"


SLIM AT TRIAL 

BEFORE bringing this story public and to a network or distributor, we needed to independently film many of the events happening and have been doing that as the story unfolds in real time. There has been  a ticking clock on certain dates.  Because safety and veracity are of utmost concern, our best option for funding at this time, is to request help from friends, colleagues, and the larger creative and socially conscious community.

UPDATE 2023:   As a result of all the hard work and advocacy, and some new policies in Los Angeles area, there is an opportunity to refile Slim's evidence on some key issues. As things are moving forward post-Covid, we need to resume getting outstanding investigative items covered on film, and the early start of pulling and editing some select sections of the footage. Currently, there is a need for funds to prepare and file essential legal documents. -  This was successfully filed.  Thank you!

UPDATE 2024 LAST LAP!  As I write this, the long awaited DNA from the  airbags in the getaway car is being tested and there is some DNA profile that was extracted!   The DNA return is being split into two parts now. Any day we will be getting the identity and final results. 

Outcome:  We met this specific  financial goal  of  capturing the DNA reveal along with crew persons who volunteered their time and services.  I am so glad that we also did not miss documenting  this pivotal moment of the part one revealed here and in a forensics lab, featuring new technology, the lawyers, and DNA experts.  Some incredible developments also occurred with previous witnesses on that  same day.

CURRENT 2025:  Slim now has a top notch legal team who will be completing the  final stretch of the post-conviction portion of the work. We've  come so far in fighting for Slim's freedom including saving his life while he was incarcerated!

To ensure we  can lay a strong foundation, ready to soar home and share this  story and witness to the world we need  your support.   Upcoming needs in the next two months include:

  • Preliminary Infrastucture & Protections - $4500 - To move toward obtaining co-production & funding partners, we must reinstate internal structural elements like entertainment lawyers for contracts and representation, as well as production insurance to protect the project and ensure smooth progress.
  • Unexpected Filming Costs  - $1200 - A recent shoot pictured above ran over budget due to an accident so we need to cover this outstanding cost.
  • Court Hearings  & Timely Experts - TBD -  Once Slim's new legal team meets with key experts We aim to cover critical court hearings  as well as  pivotal moments to capture on film in real time.
