The common theme involved substance use disorders, mental health struggles, trauma, and dysfunctional families. I’m a perpetual student of the human experience. My observations and listening afford me a vision for client treatment and continuum of care plans. Ms. Hanatu’s vision for healing unfathomable atrocities is not clinical but is undeniably resonant in her heart. A heart that still believes in the goodness of others and that success can come from a strong faith. The events leading to this project’s inception came from the cancellation of a speaking engagement. Mike Arnold, I, and four others in our group were told the reason for turning around was due to the threat of violence (there was violence there that night and two people were killed). And then happening upon an IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camp down a long dirt road we knew nothing about (our driver didn’t really know much either). And then navigating through a cast of treacherous individuals and corrupt politicians. And to where the project is today, which, without a doubt in my mind, has been orchestrated by God. So, not investing for me would be a denial of God’s part and neglecting the people whose lives and arduous journey should be recognized. My investment in this project is an opportunity to share the resilience of people ignored by their government and denied any mention of their existence. Together, Mike Arnold and I have had some grand adventurous and risky foreign travel experiences since 2006. What I’ve witnessed over the years is that he is a man of integrity, he has a never give up approach to adversity, and undeniable success with seeing projects through to their completion. I trust him wholeheartedly. I believe his compassion for underdogs has made him a great motivator and storyteller. He makes good things happen. He’s a fixer. Mike’s telling Ms. Hanatu’s story will bring to light the injustices that she and her daughters, plus innumerable others, have suffered to find protection from undeniable harm. Her face tells a story of resilience. Resilience from leaving behind their executed husbands, fathers, and sons. After leaving behind their burning homes and churches. After fleeing in the night with a band of broken and traumatized friends and family. They were spared a horrific death that very likely would have happened if they stayed behind. How hope and faith remain in the heart of Ms. Hanatu is confounding. Her story of a 400 mile journey on foot with other women and children is both inspiring and frightening. Ms. Hanatu’s prayers for her community at the New Kuchingoro camp, in Nigeria’s capital of Abuja, is a selfless and beautiful one. Her prayer is one that I never would have expected when she shared it with us. One can learn much by her example. Funding this feature length documentary will prove invaluable. The finished project will shine a light on atrocities not unique to Nigeria. This is a call for action for Ms. Hanatu and the many in her IDP camp and others throughout the country. Imagine being a part of a human rights revolution that begins with Ms. Hanatu and continues throughout the world. The opportunity is undeniable. Invest and make a difference.","endorsement_name":"","investment_total":5000,"investment_info":"Invested $5,000 this round","is_lead_investor":true,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/kristian.earle"]}],"investor_memos":[],"tab_counts":{"posts":0,"ask_questions":0,"featured_investors":1,"faq_entries":0},"active_fundraises":[{"id":146873,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:146873","state":"open","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","funding_type":"note","structure":"ttw","security_type":"","currency":"USD","testing_the_waters":true,"min_purchase":100,"max_purchase":9,"funding_target":500000.0,"minimum_target":"50000.0","maximum_target":"500000.0"}],"latest_fundraise":{"id":146873,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:146873","state":"open","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","structure":"ttw","testing_the_waters":true,"can_invest_now":true,"funding_started_at":null,"funding_closed_at":null,"terms":{"eb":"$3.15M","nb":"$3.5M","txt":"valuation cap"}},"recent_posts":[],"q_and_a":[],"faq":[]}}}
