Additional, I would like to give credit and acknowledgement to all those artists whose material and work have "contributed" to this project. Not to mislead anyone, I do not own the copyrights to any of the images, stills or footage viewed or heard in this documentary--only the script or narration is mine. The brilliant artistry of others allowed for this project's presentation and completion. Under the Fair Use Doctrine, originally a common law doctrine that was enshrined in statutory law when the U.S. Congress passed the Copyright Act of 1976, users of the doctrine are permitted limited use of copyrighted material without having to first acquire permission from the copyright holder.

As a courtesy to the copyright holders whose work is presented in this project or documentary, my use is very limited and brief. And my usage does not undermine the profitability of the original work but in fact adds to new interests.
