Every dollar moves us closer to make this film a reality. Every contribution ensures these important stories reach the audiences who need them most. 

Our team began simultaneous development and production in November 2024 with Roslyn Harmon in Golden Valley, Minnesota. We continued our progress by filming with Lakota Harden in South Dakota in January 2025, and Manal Omar in March 2025.

These stories have just begun to take shape and require additional filming to fully capture these important stories. 

Our plan is to continue production through 2025 and early 2026 with your help and the assistance of targeted grants and donations. Our goal is to release We Persist to the public and to educational and activist organizations in 2026.
