Kathleen, Attached please find a treatment for an upcoming documentary
of your Father's fight for forgotten America, including his moving
visits to the Mississippi Delta in 1967 and Appalachia in 1968.

As you can see from the producer bios attached to the treatment Ellen
Meachum who wrote the recent book regarding your Father's visit to the
Mississippi Delta in 1967 is a producer along with Andy Greenspan and
others.

As indicated in the bios, Andy has received many prestigious awards
for his previous documentaries.

Ellen introduced me to Andy shortly after they both accompanied Mary
Wright Edelman on her recent tour of the Delta for the 50th
Anniversary of your Father's visit  in which he was so moved by the
poverty here. After visiting with Andy he invited me to assist with
the documentary as a producer as well.

Please let me know what you think of the treatment and I look forward
to following up with you this week.
I will also see Bobby next weekend at the Nashville Riverkeeper event
he, David Whiteside and others are hosting there next Saturday.

I am also attaching a copy of a picture of your Father with some of
the children he visited with in Appalachia in 1968.  Andy has tracked
down the children who are now in their late 50's and early 60's just
as Ellen Meachum tracked down the impoverished children your Father
met and was pictured with during his visit to the Mississippi Delta in
1967.

All The Best,
Hira
