Testing Testing Sandi Bachom is a 29-minute documentary short about the extraordinary life and work of Sandi Bachom, directed and produced by David France and Paul McGuire, produced by Rose Arce and executive produced by Soledad O'Brien, Rosanna Arquette, Nancy Lefkowitz, Heidi Kim Andersen and David Colbert MD.

Sandi’s story is one of courage, reinvention, and purpose. After once having a successful career as a top commercial producer, Sandi lost everything and later found a new calling behind a camera. Today, at 82, Sandi is one of the most recognized independent journalists documenting extremism in America, often at great personal risk. This film honors Sandi’s fearless commitment to truth and her remarkable search for redemption, both for self and for the country cared so deeply about.

The film is almost finished, and the team is asking for help to carry it across the finish line. The goal is to raise $25,000 to complete the final week of editing, along with the color correction and audio mix that will finish the film. Exciting news: the documentary has already been accepted into several top tier US festivals (more news to come when we are are able to share)!. Additional funds will also help with travel and accommodation so the team can bring Sandi’s story to these important festivals and introduce the film to wider audiences.

Every contribution, big or small, will go directly toward finishing the documentary and helping it reach as many people as possible. Paul is asking for support in getting this vital film completed and in making sure Sandi Bachom’s powerful story receives the recognition it deserves. Thank you for helping bring this important work to the audience it was made for.

If we reach our goal of $25,000 then 6 lucky, lovely donors can win a ticket each to an exclusive NYC festival screening and also receive a poster of the film
