John Sullivan, who co-directed a couple of the more successful political documentaries in history, will executive produce Gosnell, a movie being made independently through a historic crowdfunding campaign that has raised more than $2.2 million thus far at Indiegogo.com.
Sullivan co-directed Dinesh D'Souza's debut film, 2016: Obama's America as well as its follow-up, America. The former earned $33 million at the domestic box office, making it the second-most-popular political documentary of all time. The latter earned $14 million, also a very strong showing for a documentary film.
Gosnell is planned as a scripted drama about Dr. Kermit Gosnell, an abortion doctor imprisoned without the possibility of parole for murder and involuntary manslaughter. A grand jury found that, over several decades until convicted in 2013, Gosnell committed very late-term abortions, killed babies and endangered the lives of his patients.

Although the project quickly exceeded its $2.1 million goal — and in doing so, set a then-record at Indiegogo for a movie — it recently became one of the few film projects taking part in the site's "forever funding" beta test, which allows projects to raise money long after the originally stated goal has been met.
Gosnell is produced by Phelim McAleer and his wife, Ann McElhinney, along with Magdalena Segieda, and the filmmakers are expected to announce today the addition of Sullivan. The movie, which was originally planned as a TV movie but now will be a feature film, is written by Andrew Klavan, a novelist whose True Crime was turned into a movie starring and directed by Clint Eastwood and whose Don't Say a Word was made into a movie starring Michael Douglas.

They are ALL serial murderers.
Not sure what I think about “forever funding.” This sounds like a way for filmmakers to not set, or make, a budget.
Well finally we show the world how they really are.
