                          7:00 PM

Who:                The film's writer, producers, and directors are all native Utahans. Additionally, the documentary was filmed by a Utah crew. The film is also narrated by Utah's Amanda Dickson. 

The idea for the movie began almost four decades ago, when William Nixon— writer, co-producer, and co-director—was working for Senator Hatch with the exclusive responsibility of reuniting Iranian-American families in Utah who had been separated after the 1979 Iranian revolution.  

Why:                True Iran: The Global Jihad details in an engaging and compelling way one of the most important foreign and defense policy issues of our time—Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world—and focused on its efforts to militarize, achieve nuclear weapons, and even affect the illegal narcotics trade in the United States, including Utah. The film includes interviews with some of the top experts in international relations and military affairs, including U.S. Senator Bob Corker, the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations; Mohsen Sazegara, a one-time ally of Ayatollah Khomeini and one of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard who now lives in exile in the United States; and more.

The film was previously viewed at an event hosted by Senator Orrin Hatch in the United States Capitol Visitor Center, where it was well received by those in attendance.

Available for Interviews:

                         William Nixon: Writer, Co-producer, and Co-director
                         McKay Daines: Co-producer and Co-director

Gov. Cuomo Trivializing the Safety of People with Disabilities

Jonathan Carey "Champion for the Disabled" Born September 12,1993 Killed by caregivers on February 15,2007

NY Daily News helps bring to light life threatening matters ignored by Gov. Cuomo that advocates, whistle-blowers and watchdogs demand to protect the disabled

 

Gov. Cuomo’s position is quite clear, the hell with the disabled, it is not in our interest to provide them 911 medical or police assistance or services, which is egregious & deadly discrimination.”

— Michael Carey- Advocate for people with disabilities and their families

ALBANY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, August 28, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today’s New York Daily News print and online section called Voice of the People piece titled, “The vulnerable need watchdogs” http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/aug-28-watchdogs-greed-mutts-article-1.3442927 speaks volumes. Gov. Andrew Cuomo is ignoring the most basic safety, abuse and neglect, as well as death prevention measures to protect our most vulnerable, which are required 911 emergency services and surveillance cameras. This NY Daily News letter is not the only major newspaper to print the identical problem, the NY Times Editorial Board wrote on this four years ago http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/10/opinion/protecting-the-most-vulnerable.html?mcubz=3 following their award winning “Abused & Used” investigative reporting series which was a runner up for a Pulitzer Prize http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/nyregion/abused-and-used-series-page.html?mcubz=3
Thousands of reports of abuse, neglect and deaths of people with disabilities are reported every month to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s run abuse hotline for the disabled and practically everything is disappearing. These crimes that are happening in massive proportion first and foremost must be stopped, but New York State Governor Cuomo’s position has been obvious, it does not matter if these people live or die. The atrocities that continue to go on in New York State have just made international news. The Associated Press did an extensive investigative piece regarding maggots found twice in the breath tube of a man with disabilities
https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2017/08/10/us/ap-us-concealed-neglect-.html. This criminal neglect case was covered-up by Governor Cuomo’s wrongfully titled Justice Center, like thousands of others. It is standard operating procedure for this fraudulent and corrupt State agency to keep most reported crimes, medical emergencies and deaths from the 911 call systems and all local authorities which include local police, County elected District Attorney’s and Medical Examiners. The scheme which is allowing the governors agency to get away with such horrific atrocities that are likened to war crimes is by circumventing the 911 call systems which are supposed to be in place to protect everyone. Gov. Cuomo’s position is quite clear, the hell with the disabled, it is not in our interest to provide them 911 medical or police assistance or services, which is egregious & deadly discrimination. Why else would Governor Cuomo ignore; the massive NY Times “Abused & Used” series, over a dozen AP New and BuzzFeed News investigative reports on the Justice Center (please Google), the New York State Comptroller Audit and countless pleas for these emergency measures by Jonathan Carey’s father http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/06/nyregion/boys-death-highlights-crisis-in-homes-for-disabled.html and widely known advocate, Michael Carey, dating back to when Gov. Cuomo was the Attorney General? Anyone can change their mind and actions at any time, but what will it take for Governor Cuomo to take the most basic steps to end decades of horrific discrimination against people with disabilities and ensure them 911 emergency services and safe care? I have attached two extremely damning short videos done by AP News and the NY Daily News regarding the maggot story which was the number two AP News story in the world when it came out recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSdCD8gxeHY and ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68q_zWQGEKs
It is also extremely important to bring to light another New York Daily News piece which revealed the fact that the New York State Assembly leadership knew that Cuomo’s Justice Center was a fraud but refused to investigate or take any actions to stop the crimes occurring there http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/secret-tape-shames-queens-assemblyman-article-1.1814814 . Michael Carey requested investigations with full subpoena power of Cuomo’s Justice Center because of the wide-scale criminal cover-ups of massive numbers of physical and sexual assault crimes and criminally negligent deaths, as well as the Medicaid fraud occurring within the Justice Center. Here is a direct quote from this powerful news story, “Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi (D—Queens), who chairs the chamber’s investigations committee, said Assembly Democratic leadership believes the Justice Center for the Protection of People With Special Needs touted by Gov. Cuomo is a fraud but isn’t prepared to investigate at this time.”
