We've taken a hard punch. But it's not going to stop us.

At the end of March 2025, after years of work, we were close to finishing this film. But on April 2, our principal funder, the National Endowment for the Humanities, notified us that we would not be receiving the final $214,000 of our $600,000 grant. Our grant was one of more than a thousand that NEH suddenly terminated that day on the orders of the Trump Administration's so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Their email said:

“The NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President’s agenda…your grant’s immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government.”

The $214,000 they took away was the part of our budget that covers the costs of finishing the film—which include paying for the rights to archival film and photos, salaries for our editing team, and the costs of all of the final audio and video post-production work.

Public TV wants to show this film. An educational distributor is standing by too. But no one will ever see One More Mission if we can’t get it finished.

So we are reaching out to everyone who can see the importance of our project.

The message of this film—that Americans have an obligation to speak out when our government is doing something wrong—is as timely as ever.

Here's our current 4-minute trailer.
