Surveyor Films - Independent Filmmaking & Journalism - Community Supported

We are just over a year into Trump's horrific return to office. Brown and Black communities are suffering the worst of ICE's Terror & Killing & Deportation Campaign. 

So Close to America, our original filmhttps://vimeo.com/299093446 - exposes these common claims about migrant workers...    "They steal our jobs"    "They don't pay taxes"    "They all get on welfare"   "They're all criminals!"   "They don't play by the rules!"    ...to be nothing but race-baiting demonizations. Fox "News"... go figure.

So Close to America II will (A) document the Crimes of the Trump Administration, ICE, and Private Prisons.  It will also (B) bring to light the Siamese Twin Histories of US Mass Deportations & Migrant Labor as Disposable Labor.  And we will (C) issue an all-hands-on-deck CALL TO ACTION!   Because it sure feels like it is Now or Never to resurrect this Republic. 

Our broad goal with SCTA I & II is cultivating better-informed, energized citizens & 
politically engaged VOTERS.

This fundraiser is financially supporting two specific goals:


1) Creating SCTA II : With a very small, dedicated crew for delivery on September 1, 2026

2) Creating a robust social media advertising campaign that (1) presents core educational sections of the film individually to (2) market the film by sparking interest in learning more.

All donations to this SCTA Redux are 100% tax-deductible. Thank You!!

You don't have to be a U.S. citizen or a member of the middle class to be HUMAN. And all humans have rights.
