You’ve told us you love Whitman, Alabama. We’ve heard from you—through emails and postcards, thank-you notes and quiet moments when someone stopped us at a museum exhibit just to say what the work meant to them. You're students and preachers. Poetry lovers and skeptics. People who cherish Whitman, and people who never thought they would. We have some good news: more is coming! But this time, we need your financial support. We’re raising $250,000 to return to Alabama and spend five months filming the remaining 11 verses. We will reach our goal if just 1,000 people give $250 or 2,500 people give $100. Whatever the amount you give, please know that it isn't just support, it's collaboration.Note: All donations made on this page are tax deductible and processed via our 501 (c)(3) fiscal sponsorship partner The Center for Independent Documentary (CID).
