How to Flex Your Rights During Police Encounters

Roger Sorkin

A DC-based filmmaker, Sorkin has won numerous awards for writing, directing and producing. His work has been featured on television, at film festivals, seminars and conferences, and in classrooms around the world. He began his career in public affairs broadcasting, and has received a Master of Arts in Communication from Stanford University’s Documentary Film & Video Program.

In 2003, FYR hired Sorkin Productions, LLC to produce BUSTED. Because the quality of his work exceeded all expectations (and was on-time and on-budget), FYR hired Sorkin to produce 10 Rules for Dealing with Police.

I'm thrilled to announce that we've wrapped shooting for Flex Your Rights' upcoming film, 10 Rules for Dealing with Police! And we've got pictures to share.

We're now in the editing phase and are scheduled to release the completed film before the year's end.

Shooting was an exhilarating process, and I can scarcely describe the joy of seeing our vision finally come to life. Our production team, led by Producer Roger Sorkin and Director Rubin Whitmore, did an outstanding job controlling the chaos. And Billy Murphy dazzles as our starring narrator.

My heartfelt thanks goes out to all of you for continuing to support our work and making this project possible. (If you're signed up to our email list, you'll be the first to know when the completed film is ready.)

BTW: It's not to late to see your name appear in the screen credits! If you donate $100 or more to 10 Rules between now and Oct. 15, your name will appear in the screen credits. For each additional $100 you may add a friend or family member's name too.

I'm thrilled to announce our next video, Flex Your Rights: 10 Rules for Dealing with Police (previously titled Street Law), is scheduled for release this fall!

Thanks to a terrific group of individual and foundation givers we've raised $100,000 and are carrying out our vision to produce the most outstanding know-your-rights video ever.

The vision emerged as we traveled the nation teaching (and learning) about the best strategies for dealing with police. We've also made friends with some of the nation's most brilliant legal minds and champions of social justice.
