The media are so stupid. The real story is actually two fold; who he is-- someone who is lost in America; a human being lost in the sea of humanity, and secondly; overcoming those obstacles to be the man he is now. A huge chunk of his life is missing, yet he seems to have adjusted (as much as he can) to his life. THAT is a story. Despite everything he has been through, he still survives. With the upcoming holiday season, this is such an important reminder for people. Also, tugging on peoples heartstrings during the holidays would/should be a big media draw. People go home to their families during the holidays. Who does Ben have to go home to?
What we need to do is post on craigslist in Hollywood and New York, where there are film schools, and get a young filmmaker (perhaps someone still in school) to do a documentary on BK. His daily life, where he was found, his search for answers. That filmmaker then takes that documentary and submits to Sundance and other independent film festivals and both the flimmaker and BK would be the toast of hollywood. THAT would get some attention.
I know in one of my pet cases (see below) that the media have taken a non-interest in the case, and I am wracking my brain to see how to change that. I know others who have done nationwide walks for medical causes. Maybe we could do a nationwide walk, or nationwide hand holding for missing people. (Remember they did that in the 80's for some reason?) My gosh, if the Republicans can have their "tea parties", why can't us missing persons reseachers have our own tea party? We want to make a splash and bring attention? Have a missing persons style tea party in each city. Or meet in one city. Get NCMEC involved, doe network involved, Project Jason, Charley Project, LE, etc. I AM SERIOUS (yes, as Dream I am struggling with lack of sleep, but I am still serious).:dance:
