Help Amy Ziering & Kirby Dick Document Hollywood’s Sexual Abuse Problem

Ziering: Broadly/YouTube

A couple weeks ago “The Hunting Ground” and “The Invisible War” filmmakers Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick announced their next project: a documentary tackling Hollywood’s rampant sexual harassment and assault problem. And now Ziering and Dick are hoping to collect stories, tips, and leads for the film.

If you’re interested in helping Ziering and Dick with the project by confidentially sharing your story with them, or connecting them with someone else who wishes to share their story, please read the letter below.

The Women and Hollywood Community:

A two-time Oscar-nominated and multiple Emmy-winning investigative documentary film team is working on a project on Sexual Assaults and Sexual Harassment in the Entertainment Industry.

They are interested in connecting with persons who might have stories to share — either of their own first hand experiences, or of any knowledge about the experiences or actions of others.

All conversations would be completely confidential and 100 percent off the record.

This is the same team who did the film “The Invisible War,” which aired on PBS, broke the story of the epidemic of rape in our military, and led to the passing of 35 pieces of legislation and significant changes in military policy; as well as more recently, the film “The Hunting Ground,” about campus sexual assaults, which aired on CNN, and led to changes in school policies throughout our country.

They are looking to make another searing exposé — this time about abuse in Hollywood — that chronicles the cultural transformation we are currently fortunate enough to be witnessing; and gives a platform to voices that have been too long threatened, silenced, and ignored.

I respect and admire their work tremendously and know this issue will be handled in their film with great sensitivity, compassion, intelligence, and rigor.

I also trust them implicitly.

If you have any type of information that you think might be of interest to them, feel free to write them at: confidential@chaincamera.com.

Please feel free as well to help their efforts by sharing this letter or posting it on social media.

Thank you.
