Struggle's Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iamstruggle/i-am-struggle-the-legacy-of-an-outlaw Struggle's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strugglejennings
As part of a long legacy of Outlaws, Gangsters and Rock Stars, Struggle Jennings fought his way out of the same streets that claimed his father's life, eventually making it into the recording studio but his past caught up with him.. He was arrested on drug conspiracy charges and found himself facing over 38 years in prison. While out on bond awaiting trial Struggle called on Yelawolf and the Slumerican crew to help orchestrate the recording of what could have been his last album.. With over 40 hours of professionally shot footage we've thoroughly documented this chapter of Struggle's life.. We followed him during his criminal trial.. Traveled with him for what could have been his last live performances.. When he hit the studio to record "I AM STRUGGLE" we were there to document the entire process.. We have footage of him performing along side of Yelawolf, Jellyroll, Rittz and Big Krit.. We captured the painfully intimate moments between Struggle and his family as they hoped for the best but prepared for the worst. We interviewed members of his inner circle to reveal a deeper perspective on Struggle's history.
Our plan was to release the "I AM STRUGGLE" documentary along with his album, but Struggle was taken into custody unexpectedly while we were still gathering footage.. With limited resources, we put the documentary on hold to focus on getting his album ready for release.. But now that his album is finished and his freedom is finally within sight, we've decided that it's time to complete the documentary. Our goal for the "I AM STRUGGLE" KICKSTARTER campaign is to raise $24,000. These funds will be used to cover all expenses related to filming the final interviews, completing post-production work, and promoting the finished product.. With this budget we are confident that we can produce not only a great documentary that tells Struggle's story, but an emotionally compelling film that examines a modern cultural archetype.. Someone who was born into poverty with dreams and aspirations of overcoming their financial and social limitations.. Someone who is struggling against all odds to create a better life for themselves and their family.. We believe that when this film is completed it will be worthy of submission to film festivals and we fully intend to explore that option when the time comes..
We've been inspired by Struggle to focus on the music and the message, letting them find their own audience. We have seen the deep resonance his story has with people all around the world. His reach on Social Media is growing rapidly and his words are having a profoundly positive effect on people. With the engagement of his passionate fan-base and our ability to offer rewards that match the value of your donations, we've decided that crowd funding is the perfect solution to overcoming our financial limitations while maintaining our independence and creative control..
Although your contribution is a donation, we felt the need to offer something of equal value in exchange. We've developed reward packages that reflect the direct and personal connection that Struggle shares with the people who are touched by his story. In addition to the EXCLUSIVE CD/DVD/T-SHIRT packages that we're offering, we've developed several limited and unique reward options. These rewards range from a personal phone call from Struggle in prison, to an appearance in the film, and even a chance to sit in on his first post-prison recording sessions!! So come check out the I AM STRUGGLE KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN and see if there's a reward package for you!!
Our goal isn't to sell a movie.. Our goal is to tell Struggle's story in the most honest and engaging way possible.. We have seen first hand the incredibly transformative effect that Struggle's story, his words and his music have had on people all across the world.. We believe that his story is a story that needs to be heard and we're honored to do our part in bringing that story to a wider audience.. Thank you for taking the time to read about Struggle's Kickstarter campaign!!
