"It's a wrap." Those are exciting words for any group of filmmakers and the Waking the Sleeping Giant team was incredibly excited to say them out loud. We have completed production (which is just film-speak for being done with filming)!
We closed out the production phase of the film with an interview of Slate's insightful chief political correspondent, Jamelle Bouie, filming in Washington, D.C. during the inauguration and the Women's March, and our final day was in Los Angeles at an L.A. police commission meeting.

We are going back in to the editing suite this week to finish crafting the film!
Thank you to our donors, our crew and volunteers, and our families for believing in this project and stay tuned for more important milestones!
