The Withdrawal of USAID – A Documentary by Greg Perrie
The Withdrawal of USAID – A Documentary by Greg Perrie
My name is Gregg Edward Perrie, I’m president of Gregg Edwards management and I’m directing a documentary that investigates the catastrophic consequences of the current administration’s decision to withdraw funding from USAID. I’m reaching out to share our sizzle reel and pitch deck, and to respectfully ask if you would consider sharing the reel on your show and doing an interview with me for this critical project.
According to UN experts, over 350,000 lives have been lost since the funding halt—more than 200,000 of them children. These are preventable deaths, yet the story has received little national attention. Our film seeks to illuminate the real-world impact of this policy shift and to hold leadership accountable for the humanitarian crisis it has triggered.
Your voice could bring powerful insight and urgency to a conversation that has remained far too quiet. We believe your participation would help elevate this issue to the national stage and inspire meaningful dialogue and action. Please read the NY Times article by Pulitzer Prize winner Nicholas Kristof.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
From the American People: The Withdrawal of USAID is a new documentary by filmmaker Gregg Perrie. It tells the real stories behind the quiet crisis caused by the withdrawal of USAID. When U.S. aid programs ended in several countries, lives were disrupted and communities were left struggling to survive.
This film gives voice to families, teachers, and health workers who once depended on USAID. Their stories show what happens when critical support disappears overnight. Each interview reveals the human cost behind political choices made far from the people most affected.
Your donation helps Gregg Perrie and his team record and share these stories with the world. Together, we can ensure that the words “From the American People” still carry meaning and compassion.
