ADDENDUM TO “THE HARD WAY” STATEMENT OF WORK

This statement of work is for the production of the Chicago gang prevention film project with the working title The Hard Way” (THW). THW is intended to be a dramatic, high-quality, 30 minute film depicting the tough choices that face today’s youth and the harsh consequences that can result from those choices. The script was written by the FBI Chicago Field office personnel and filming locations shall be in Chicago, Illinois.

The purpose of THW project is to facilitate a classroom or assembly style meeting between a

FBI designated presenter and a small audience of 12-18 year old at risk children. It is intended that THW be presented in segments with the presenter engaging the audience with stimulating discussion relevant to the audience’s age, at risk level and maturity level between segments.

This unique, interactive format will allow the FBI to engage youth and inspire them to consider life away from gangs and crime. The presenter will also have the option of playing THW without segments and engaging in discussion following the film. THW focuses on the decisions faced by some youth raised in environments stricken by gang activity and drugs. Although the focus of THW is gang and drug related, the theme strongly carries a universal message of the importance of making the right decisions and how the results of these decisions form the decision maker’s future making overall theme of THW relevant to most youth.

THW will be produced in a way that it maintains national acceptance and is not only relevant to the Chicago experience. Upon its completion, copies of THW will be distributed to all 56 FBI field offices along with a companion manual for presentation purposes as part of a youth outreach or gang prevention program.
