"Surviving the Cruise" - cruise documentary needs interviewees
Hello all,
A major cable network is commissioning an hour-long documentary special entitled Surviving the Cruise, in light of the increasing number of illnesses, fires and crimes aboard cruise ships. The show is less an "investigative" piece and more a guide/overview on potential dangers and how to avoid them. In the end, the message we would like to get across to our viewers is that cruise ships are a great vacation option IF you are well-informed and prepared. This is not an expose and we do not want to vilify the cruise ships. We are looking for interviewees that would be willing to discuss their incidents on camera. I understand that many of you are dealing with either illness, loss, or lawsuits and this subject may be very painful. But please rest assured that we will do our best to avoid any upsetting questions and will simply ask you to go over the facts of what happened. We are interested in the following types of stories: --CRIME VICTIMS (disappearances, murder, rape, theft): ***We understand that many of you are in and out of court dealing with very painful and emotional issues. This is by far the most sensitive topic we are covering, both emotionally and legally. Please consult your lawyer before granting an interview (or have him or her contact me directly to discuss).*** --ILLNESS VICTIMS (food poisoning, viruses, air pollution, lung damage, etc) --FIRE VICTIMS OR WITNESSES (loss of personal belongings, inhalation/lung damage, burn victims) --PIRACY VICTIMS OR WITNESSES (loss of personal belongings, attack victims, emotional distress) If you are a victim or witness who meets any of the above criteria (or similar criteria), or if you have leads or know someone who does, please write to me as soon as possible. We are looking to schedule these interviews rather quickly (perhaps within a week's time), so if you are interested please let me know a) your location and b) your availability over the next week. I will say that we are leaning heavily towards conducting interviews in the Southern California, Connecticut, Seattle, Washington DC/Maryland/Virginia/Baltimore, and Miami areas, but will consider travelling for a particularly compelling story. Thank you and I wish you all the best of luck in your endeavors. Best Wishes, Stephanie Sapienza Associate Producer Surviving the Cruise |

"Surviving the Cruise" - cruise documentary needs interviewees
Thus spake "Stephanie Sapienza" :
Hello all, A major cable network is commissioning an hour-long documentary special entitled Surviving the Cruise, in light of the increasing number of illnesses, fires and crimes aboard cruise ships. The show is less an "investigative" piece and more a guide/overview on potential dangers and how to avoid them.

This is not an expose and we do not want to vilify the cruise ships. My ass it isn't. Why don't you look for the millions who haven't had any problems? Why not interview the crime victims in Austin? More of them than on the cruise lines last year. Or interview the folks at the local nursing home that just had 23 cases of Norwalk among a population of 327. Oh yeah, I'll also be sending a personal email with the same message. -- dillon I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to become a vegetartian. |
