With the timeliness of the #icebucketchallenge, my friend and fellow filmmaker Yusuf H. Hameed has proposed a creative opportunity to raise money and awareness for ALS. We have decided to release the short documentary The Black Arrow, which centers around a Savannah family and their struggle with ALS. Yusuf posted this statement two days ago: Finally found easiest way to share. Well my wife, Karen George Hameed, has challenged me to an Ice Bucket Challenge. I dont mind a good soaking every once in a while, especially since the heat index is above 100 degrees in Savannah. Instead, I would rather donate hard cash. Weve watched our dear friends Don Rader and Christa Corley Raderrdeal with ALS (The Beast). Donnie was diagnosed ALS several years ago and hes been confined to a wheelchair for the last 2 years. His identical twin, Ronnie, has been spared the disease. Even though we know an immediate cure is unavailable, we hope research will triumph over this dreaded disease. We made a short film about Donnie called THE BLACK ARROW with the help of 2 SCAD graduates Jennifer Marie Bird and Luke McMahon, along with special thanks to Dr.William Garrett, Savannah neurologist extraordinaire. Karen and I will donate $1 [in the name of the Rader family] to the ALS Association for each person that WATCHES our short film about Donnies struggles on vimeo. The link keeps track of views per day, and in ONE WEEK, we will add up the total and make a donation. So far weve hit 432 views. Please share this video. Together we can make a difference. https://vimeo/70891184
