The Gosnell Movie
Dr. Kermit Gosnell is the most prolific serial killer in American History, but almost no one knows who he is.
The Grand Jury investigating Kermit Gosnell's horrific crimes said this:
This case is about a doctor who killed babies ... What we mean is that he regularly and illegally delivered live, viable, babies in the third trimester of pregnancy – and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors .... Over the years, many people came to know that something was going on here. But no one put a stop to it. (Report of the Grand Jury)
Gosnell is serving several life sentences but the media basically ignored his crimes and his trial. They ignored the facts that emerged from the trial, like the fact that the babies he murdered suffered terribly. Here is what a neonatologist told the Grand Jury:
The neonatologist testified... If a baby moves, it is alive. Equally troubling, it feels a “tremendous amount of pain” when its spinal cord is severed. So, the fact that Baby Boy A. continued to move after his spinal cord was cut with scissors means that he did not die instantly. Maybe the cord was not completely severed. In any case, his few moments of life were spent in excruciating pain. (Report of the Grand Jury)
The media don't think this is a story. Even though Gosnell killed more people than Gary Ridgeway, John Wayne Gacey, The Zodiac Killer and Ted Bundy combined. In a 30 year killing spree, it is thought he killed 1000s of babies. And that wasn't a national story?

Dear Backers,
We hope you are well.
We just wanted to update you on the progress of the film as it's been a year now since we ended the fundraising campaign.
When we finished the campaign all we had was an idea and your powerful endorsement of that idea. The journey from that idea to the big screen is a long process.
Making a quality movie takes time, a lot of time. We don't want this movie to be a quick tossed off, low quality production and we don't think you do either. The story we are telling is too important.
To make this movie we have had to meet all the key players involved in this story including Gosnell himself. Our jailhouse interview with Gosnell was one of the creepiest experiences of our journalistic career. We have met the detectives, the prosecutors, Gosnell's staff (who were convicted alongside him) and many of the women who were his "patients".
We have also studied the trial transcripts and thousands of documents that the trial threw up. All of this work is necessary but it takes time.
It's been a painstaking task but it has allowed us to work on the script with the knowledge that we really understand the story. We have had a number of drafts but are confident that we now finally have a world class script. Having Nick Searcy direct is a wonderful gift. Nick really really cares about the story, he'll do a great job telling this story.
We are now working on cast and choosing locations but we wanted to explain to you why all of this takes time. We hope to have filming finished in the fall of 2015 and have the Gosnell Movie "in the can" by the end of 2015 or early 2016.
We will let you know news as soon as we can.
Thank you always for your generosity and patience,
Phelim
