Hello Brad,

My apologies for posting this here. I dropped you a message via LinkedIn, but I wasn't sure how else to get ahold of you.

I’m reaching out to you on behalf of NHK, a Japanese public broadcaster developing a 1-2 hour news documentary feature on January 6th. Our program is intended to give our viewers a deeper understanding of the incident and its larger implications by exploring a cross-section of three individual perspectives of people there on the day. We were hoping to feature you as one of these three perspectives.

The program's goal is to provide unbiased facts and first-hand insight, maintaining strict neutrality and espousing no political beliefs. Above all our goal is to give Japanese viewers a deeper understanding of the current state of America, which we feel isn’t possible without an honest exploration of views across the spectrum. That said, the thematic focus of the program is on human interest rather than politics.

We want to hear your story in your words. I discovered your blog; it’s well-reasoned and articulate, and left me convinced that your perspective would be invaluable in painting a complete picture. Like you, I care deeply about this country, and hope that this project can do something, however small, to make things better.

If you have time, I’d love to chat briefly with you a bit more about the project, and answer any questions you might have.

Feel free to call/text/email me at any time. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Respectfully,

Andrew Houston
