"Into the Light" - a New Film Being Made About Elder Abuse



While documenting a conference on elder abuse in 2014, Cameron Wheeless, became aware of a particularly tragic and disturbing case and was compelled to reach out to fellow filmmakers and friends to assemble a filmmaking team to tell this story.

According to the project's website (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/into-the-light--2#/story)"

"If we reach our goal of $6,000, 50% of the additional funds we raise will go to one of the following advocacy groups: The New Orleans Council on Aging, The National Center On Elder Abuse, The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving, University of California - Irvine Center of Excellence on Elder Abuse and Neglect, Weill Cornell Medical College - Project on Elder Abuse and Neglect, or The Alzheimer's Foundation of America"

What are these groups doing to prevent the kinds of abuses which individuals like ourselves have complained. I have approached at least three of these groups and concluded that their priorities do not include any of our priorities.
