Sheen to Host and Narrate Siegelman Film

Bringing you BIG, BIG NEWS on this 4th of July Weekend!

Sheen to Host and Narrate Siegelman Film

https://madmimi.com/s/6b1a66#

We are happy to announce that Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now, The West Wing) is now attached to the Killing Atticus Finch project as narrator and host.

“We are honored to have such a venerated actor and activist as a key part of both our fundraising efforts and film production. Mr. Sheen has one of the most recognizable voices in the world, and will add a powerful ring of truth to the travesty of justice involved in Gov. Siegelman’s case,” said Steve Wimberly, the film’s director.

Let's tell the world!

Thank you for the update. Hopefully this will encourage the DOJ to reconsider the merits, or lack of, in this very frustrating case and justice can finally prevail.

Ages ago West Wing was still on or had just ended.

Anyway, he had walked by me and I called. "Mr President!"

He swiftly swivelled and looked at me. "Yes, ma'am?" Then almost instantly recognized what he'd done and cracked up.
