Fuel Matthew's Film on Baltimore's Squeegee Kids

Hi, my name is Matthew J. Cooper, I am a filmmaker from Baltimore, Md. I am raising funds to extend my film on Baltimore’s youth that squeegee. “Understanding the Misunderstood” takes a deep dive into the history of squeegee kids in Baltimore City and how the past parallels with the present. We not only get to see why Corey Thompson, a 13-year-old enterprising entrepreneur, takes to the streets to clean car windows to help support his 28-year-old mother and three younger siblings, but we also get to see how Corey and other squeegee kids are able to persevere in a city that has left minorities oppressed for decades. The film is a short-documentary that is 30 minutes. With sufficient funding, I can turn this into a 4-part docu-series.
