Chuck’s story is an incredible record of American crime. However, the primary value of the story is in his ultimate transformation, after he has the clarity of mind and moral strength to overcome his addictions, and devote his life to helping his fellow addicts and ex-convicts find recovery.
We are currently seeking funding for a documentary and feature film/televison project. We are also looking to publish the story of Chuck's life.
