Liz Here Now is a Journey Media Productions film, made with The Humble Picture Company and Clandestine Entertainment. Inspired by true events and the novel by Todd Connor, it is a story of survival, the cost of silence, and courage.
All profits from this film go to charity.
Liz would have wanted it that way…
And so do we.
