i did some fishing after i heard he was contacting people within the community. this is the reply i recieved.
Quote:
Thanks for getting in touch with me. I'm learning that this is a very sensitive subject to talk about. Confidentially, it is very early in the process here, so I can try to lay out my intentions. Here is what I can tell you. I'm a documentary producer on staff at NBC Media (now known as Peacock Productions). I've produced dozens of hour-long cable documentaries over the years, on subjects ranging from Biographies on A&E, CIA Mind Control on Discovery, The Search for AfterLife on the SciFi Channel to the murders at Virginia Tech on the History Channel.
So, as part of my job, I am in the position to pitch ideas to a development team here at NBC, who then pitches them to other networks. I read an article about Erowid and mentioned it to the development folks. They said it might be worth looking into. I don't give two shits about the development team, but I do know how to produce a documentary on a sensitive subject.
Frankly I hate newsmagazines and their approach to doing tv. Shock, fear and pseudo journalism. I'm fairly liberal-minded about most subjects. So, when it comes to looking into what the entheogenics are up to, I want to meet people who are passionate about what they do and profile and document the scene. The highest compliment I can get is when someone I've profiled says "you got it right," meaning that somehow I captured an essense of what they are about.
Long e-mail. Sorry. So, I see this documentary as a chance for a mainstream audience to understand a community that is doing something decidely not-mainstream. It can be tough. Will this be an advocacy piece? Not really. An attack piece? No. A typical news magazine "investigation?" No again.
That's about all I can tell you now. I haven't written a treatment. No one has ordered the show and offered to pay for it. But if I can convince them that it is a subject worth pursuing and they think someone will watch, then it's show time.
thread from WA&F all about it.

yeah, don't allow those press people to get into your mind, they WILL lie to get any story and then rig it to where it can sound completely different to what you have said. it would be nice to find a civil news person, but these days it is just not possible.

Umm, why would sunflowers be illegal? They aren't psychoactive, are they?

I think you should totally watch out for this guy (im sure you know that tho)! They have that one show (not sure what station) where they catch the online predators. haha not that we are online predators (at least not all of us ) but they set up those people, they can easily set up one of us!

Lets face it.
Any public expose on entheogens is going to have a POOR REACTION. People simply can't handle the notion that substances can be used responsibly.
I guarantee this story won't be aired unless they put a "TO CATCH A SHAMAN" spin on it.
I would keep my lips sealed. And please...please...don't let Teo or any other straight up newbie represent us.
Having a ying yang avatar and trying to be an apartment shaman just doesn't cut it. It does to the ignorant though, which is what the reporter and audience would be.

I agree with most of the above statements. The anthropological information that we here have learned and share is sacred to those from whom it was passed. The subjects discussed here are as touchy as religion and look what happens to a religion when it receives widespread attention. Not to mention that when the public hears about things they don't understand, they attack it and usually freedoms are lost. I hope everyone is careful what they divulge to these people. Even if the journalist sincerely wants to understand, the majority of the people he broadcasts the information to won't.

The only possible way I could see it happening was if the member Enter had a Q & A session that was community approved and then we had lawyers to make sure none of the conversations were altered in any way.
