Listen Up Dollard Readers! “Young Americans” Documentary Needs You

December 18th, 2007 Posted By The Bashman From Pat Dollards Blog.

Pat nearly died on more than one occasion trying to bring home the truth of what was happening in Iraq. The Marines who sat on either side of him in this humvee did not survive the IED. Pat did, he has a story that the American people, and the world, need to hear.

Folks, I really feel the need to say something here. I just got off the phone with Pat who is busting his ass trying to get his documentary “Young Americans” done the way he feels it needs to be done. If you read his “Deep Thoughts” you’ll know he has had some creative differences with the docs producer Tony Scott.

This week is the biggest week in the history of this documentary’s post-production. I don’t need to tell you that Pat’s film truly captures the heart of the Marines that serve(d) in Iraq. I don’t need to tell you that Pat’s version of the war in Iraq is completely different than, say, the mainstream media’s version of the war in Iraq. I don’t need to tell you, that it is the truth.

What I do need to tell you is that Pat is putting together this film his way. And it is the right way. What I do need to tell you, is that he is literally using every last penny he has, to get this documentary done the right way.

To have anybody else do it any other way would be doing the United States Marine Corps, and all of our other men and women serving in uniform a disservice. I have seen a lot of footage. I have even seen footage nobody else has…well, except the big producers. I can tell you, it needs to be done Pat’s way.

Particularly frustrating to Pat, is that Showtime said “Yes” last April, but the Scott bros. had been handling post-production, which meant it was caught up an a “Hollywood System” of a somewhat good-sized production company (Tony & Ridley) and so it got pushed back and pushed back and then the Scotts tell Pat that there is no “advance” money from Showtime because they had to use it all up for post-production. Which means that Pat won’t see a dime from YA until DVDs come out sometime late next year. Unbelieveably frustrating.

He needs to raise $3,000 by Friday. Just below the search box on the main page are the words “Support This Site“. I am asking you to support Pat now. Right now.

If you feel like you benefit from this site, if you feel like “Young Americans” is the kind of film this country needs to see right now, in the wake of all of the “Redacted“s and the “Lions For Lambs” and all of the mainstream media and left-wing Congressional hatred for our troops, then I am asking you to help Pat finish this thing.

I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t feel it was right.

Click HERE, and do so today, he needs $3,000 by Friday.

Thanks,
Bash
