Business Wire
Vinco Ventures, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBIG) and its newly engaged
partner Zash Global Media and Entertainment, with subsidiaries Zash
Studios has recently come on board with Miss Muffet Studios and
Six+One Studios on the film Chicago: America’s Hidden War. We’re
excited to announce that the feature length documentary exposing
Chicago’s gut-wrenching violence has been included on the 2021
Oscars Eligibility list. In his directorial debut, Daylight
Supreme’s film Chicago: America’s Hidden War is being considered in
the Best Documentary Feature Category. Zash Studio, a subsidiary of
Zash Global Media and Entertainment, first screened the film in
their studio location in Syracuse, New York.
Chicago: America’s Hidden War pulls back the curtain to expose
the real pain of Chicago’s inner city and what happens when we as
Americans turn a blind eye to over 10,000 senseless deaths since
the beginning of the war in Afghanistan. That’s more than our
fallen soldiers who died in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. It’s
time we take a stand, turning apathy into empathy to create real
change. No longer can we sit on the sidelines and watch another
American die from senseless violence.
“The violence and statistics are staggering, with over 77,000
Americans shot and over 10,000 killed since 2001, and we appreciate
the national attention to this problem. We must unite to address
these issues in Chicago and other major cities in order to protect
our nation’s youth from the gun violence that has now claimed more
American lives in Chicago than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
combined. We kindly ask everyone to take the time to watch our
documentary and help us in addressing this “hidden” problem in one
of the nation’s largest cities,” said Dimas Salaberrios.
Dimas Salaberrios is a leader
in the social justice movement. In addition to Chicago: America’s
Hidden War, Mr. Salaberrios has published an autobiography, Street
God: The Explosive True Story of a Former Drug Boss on the Run from
Life in the Hood, which
was an Amazon Category Best Seller. He also worked on the
production of the documentary Emanuel, with Viola Davis, Steph
Curry and Mariska Hargitay about the 2015 Charleston church
shooting that claimed the lives of nine Emanuel AME Church members
in an act of domestic terrorism.
