Hélène, will you join us in Cannes to present your latest movie this year? It would be fantastic to finally meet you in person! :)
When Leutrell (Mike) Osborne, author of 'Black Man in the CIA' learned that Gary and Frank Burmaster had started writing a screenplay about the assassination of RFK he offered his help again. JFK Assassination Expert Al Navis is attached as 'Consulting Historian'. Leutrell attached as a 'Research Technical Consultant' for the screenplay. Leutrell knows he can help due to his extensive knowledge of Counterintelligence, Black Operations, COINTEL PRO (the FBI's Counter Intelligence Program), Covert Action and other relative matters that now clearly relate to the crime. The atrocities of the assassination and the following corrupted investigation must be brought to the world even it takes a motion picture to finally spell it all out.
