Filmmaker's Chris Phillips' Equipment Destroyed
Donation protected
Hello everyone, I am Amy A Hunter, a friend of Chris Phillips. I am asking for your help On August 9, 2020 Chris Phillips was filming the events in Ferguson. The police rushed the crowd, knocking Chris Phillips and his RED camera to the ground. His camera is destroyed. This is how he makes a living, this is how he tells the stories and captures true events around the world. We have to have his voice, we have to help him get another camera. We need 16,000 to purchase a new camera for Chris. No one has spent more time documenting Ferguson, the protests around the world and without his lens we would have to rely on main stream media. If you are looking for a way to impact the movement, to support the STEM and Arts in Black America, this is your moment. I am giving my personal money and I am humbly asking you to do the same. This man has sent countless nights with the unhoused , providing food, gloves, hats, scarves, clothing and even rides to shelters. He is a kind, god loving and servant leader. He is the kind of man, anyone would be proud to call friend. If you want to see his work I have provided some links, websites and articles.
