From Viral Book to Powerful Film — Help Bring “The Balance of Justice” to the Screen
The Legal System Failed. This Story Won’t.
My name is Joel Crafton, and I’m the author of The Balance of Justice: The Truth Behind Corruption, a powerful nonfiction book that’s already gaining attention for exposing the deep-rooted issues in America’s legal system.
The book is out now — and that’s just the beginning.
This is not just another book. It’s a warning. A firsthand account backed by documented evidence showing how the justice system sometimes protects power instead of people. It reveals a system where truth is often ignored and outcomes are preordained.
Now, I need your help to take this message further — by turning this true story into a compelling short film.
Why This Film Matters
Based on real events, this story highlights:
Legal aid failures
Prosecutorial misconduct
Appellate indifference
A system that prioritizes winning over truth
By adapting this book into a short film, we aim to:
Reach a wider audience
Raise global awareness about justice reform
Inspire meaningful conversations and action
This is more than a film — it’s a movement to hold systems accountable and bring hope to those who feel voiceless.
We’ve Already Started
The book is published and gaining traction.
Now we’re moving forward with the film adaptation, and your support will help us bring this vision to life.
How Your Donation Helps
Your contributions will support:
Film equipment and production
Cast and crew costs
Location rentals and set design
Legal rights, editing, and post-production

This is a time-sensitive project, and your support means we can create this film with the quality and impact it deserves.
Our Goal: $25,000
This amount will allow us to professionally produce a short film that reflects the truth and power of the original book, helping us reach audiences far beyond the page.
