Subject: MAJOR DOCUMENTARY ON SOUTHERN HERITAGE MOVEMENT
To: (hk.edgerton@gmail.com)Dear H.K.,
I am a producer with VICE UK working on a documentary series about the Southern Heritage movement and the many battles taking place today to preserve Confederate
monuments, iconography, and values across America.The series will air on VICELAND, VICE’s news and culture television channel. While some series on VICELAND might have taken a skewed look at the Southern Heritage
movement, the series I’m producing has earned a stellar reputation for presenting relevant and hot-button subjects in a fair, responsible, and respectful manner to our very
large, young, and receptive audience in over 50 countries.In this hour-long episode, we’re looking to go more in-depth into the Southern Heritage movement than any other news program on television. We’re looking to completely
avoid the commonly held stereotypes that the liberal media usually covers your movement with, and go way past the same old interview sound bites, to truly understand
the movement and its members and why – now more than ever — your work is so necessary. If possible, I’d love to feature you in this program. This could be an
invaluable opportunity for you to get the story straight about American History and the role of African-Americans in the Confederacy. And your participation, and
intelligent commentary, could potentially cultivate millions of new and young supporters from our global audience.Do you think you might spare a couple of minutes to speak with me over the phone today about your work and the series I’m producing?
I can’t thank you enough for your time, H.K., and look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,
JOSH PENCHINA
