Mission Statement
This series will be produced, written by a mix of races and genders. Our team spans from 24-70 in age, made up of women, men, transgender, and LGBT in front of and behind the camera. The stories address class, gender, equal rights of all Americans in the courtroom.About The Project
When I was a little boy, I never thought about the vital role history played in my life. Every decision I make now is based on my past experiences.
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illuminates actuality, gives strength and energy to memory, provides guidance in daily life. All people and peoples are living histories. Communities speak languages that are inherited from the past. We live in societies with complex cultures, traditions, and religions that have not been created on the spur of the moment.
"The Rebellious Rise" is an episodic television show that explores infamous courtroom trials based on the most controversial issues in America’s history.
"The Rebellious Rise" of American history is an episodic doc series television show based on pivotal moments in the history of America in the courtroom, starting from the 19th century until today. "The Rebellious Rise" of American History will examine how the US Government and the Court System dealt with some of the important moments such as slavery, human rights, gender equality and much more. Few people know all of its hidden stories. "The Rebellious Rise" is modeled after the format of a show like “The People v. O.J. Simpson” consisting of a combination of interviews with people facing various social issues, experts examining important court cases and re-enactment of some of the cases. All these are important moments in the history of the United States. Most, if not all, ended in the courtroom where the US Government was forced to act to change the situation.
"The Rebellious Rise" will educate and enrich people's knowledge of what happened in the courtroom in the 19th century, what is going on now and how the Government dealt with it. The audience will have the chance to experience the tension in the courtroom at that point, through re-enactment. The show, which is about the people, The viewers will be able to see that it is about human weaknesses and how facts, sometimes do not matter, and that’s good sometimes and bad other times in life.
"The Rebellious Rise" depicts legal history via re-enactments, and also re-enacting anecdotes that need a good writer to help bring the stories to life.
This show is incredibly precious to me and your support as an integral part in bringing it to life. Anything you can contribute will be greatly appreciated, as will helping me spread the story.Incentives
