We are happy to announce that Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now, The West Wing) is now attached to the Killing Atticus Finch project as narrator and host.

“We are honored to have such a venerated actor and activist as a key part of both our fundraising efforts and film production. Mr. Sheen has one of the most recognizable voices in the world, and will add a powerful ring of truth to the travesty of justice involved in Gov. Siegelman’s case,” said Steve Wimberly, the film’s director.

With Mr. Sheen’s involvement, the film project,Killing Atticus Finch, is building momentum. The film's producers, Academy Award winner, Maria Forio, and accomplished actor and activist, Mimi Kennedy, hope to raise enough money in the coming weeks to go directly into production.

3. Martin Sheen is a great activist.

I met him at an anti-war rally in L.A. once. He was just walking in the crowd so I went up to him and thanked him for his activism. He said, "No, thank YOU.".

Looking forward to this project. What a travesty.

5. The Democratic Solicitor General who helped return him to jail sits on Supreme Court now.

Which bothers me in a big way.
