My Cause, My Cleats

2019

​​

In collaboration with The Players Coalition, My Cause, My Cleats is a powerful docu-style piece highlighting the work of the ACLU PA, a non-profit supported by NFL player Malcolm Jenkins. Through emotional interviews and firsthand accounts, the film explores the harsh realities of the parole system, how it traps individuals in a relentless cycle and the fight to break free. By sharing the voices of those directly impacted, this piece invites viewers to "walk a mile in their shoes" and see the urgent need for change.
