And we’re deeply grateful for all of these new “backers”.<br /><br />And we continue to receive enthusiastic and, in many cases, very touching e-mails and phone calls from “backers” of this film in Africa, Asia, Europe, Mexico, South America and the United States.<br /><br />So who are these supporters and what are their backgrounds?<br /><br />Some are people whose work is inspired by Reich—from the communities of orgonomy, bio-energetics, acupuncture, Reiki, Chinese medicine, energy medicine and biology. Others hail from academia, in such disciplines as the history of science, European history, psychology and sociology.<br /><br />Some tell us that for years certain books by Reich have resonated with them on some personal level.<br /><br />And still others are completely new to the subject and have become “backers” because they’re fascinated by what they learned from our Kickstarter project video about Reich’s promising biological and cancer research; or they were outraged to learn that the publications of a renowned psychiatrist, research-physician and scientist were actually banned and burned in America in 1956 and 1960.<br /><br />Yes, this fundraising campaign is moving forward and for all the right reasons: the story of Wilhelm Reich deserves, at long last, to be told factually, and all of the “backers” are telling us this with their pledges, e-mails and phone calls.<br /><br />But none of us can afford to take our eyes off the prize: our financial goal is $168,500 by November 21st. We have 22 days to reach that goal…otherwise we receive none of the monies that have already been pledged.<br /><br />So if you haven’t yet become a “backer”, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO JOIN THIS WORTHWHILE EFFORT to produce this much-needed and long overdue film. Help us keep the momentum going and PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT NOW. And please KEEP SPREADING THE WORD AND SENDING THIS KICKSTARTER LINK to others who may be interested in joining this effort.<br /><br />http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/25874147/wilhelm-reich-documentary-film-project<br /><br />Thank you.James Stricknoreply@blogger.com
