The opportunity to help produce 10 Days in a Madhouse came at a rough time. Already juggling leadership roles in two start-up corporations, I wondered if I could possibly manage another project. But once I heard Nellie's story, it wasn't an IF but a HOW. As a journalists engaged in social activism in an industry dominated by men, I could relate to Nellie. Her ability to play by the rules in a world dominated by men and beat them at their own game gave me inspiration that I too could succeed in a heavily male-dominated industry. At just age 23, she fearlessly took on an assignment no man was brave enough - or perhaps foolish enough - to take. And in doing so, she not only secured herself a position working for the all powerful Joseph Pulitzer, but inspired the American public to finally demand accountability for the systematic abuses in the American Mental Health Industry. She was a powerful activist, one of the first female industrialists, and a humanitarian to the core. How could I not join the award-winning team inviting the public to help us tell her story right through our Indiegogo campaign. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/10-days-in-a-madhouse-suspense-thriller-dramatic-feature-film/x/4589818
