Storyville’s Betsy West is Executive Producing “The Lavender Scare,” the untold story of the most vicious witch hunt in American history. Filmmaker Josh Howard (24-time Emmy award winner / CBS News 60 Minutes - Former Executive Producer) exposes the shameful witch hunt of the 1950′s & 60′s that targeted gay and lesbian federal workers and gave birth to the LGBT rights movement. To this day, there are still 29 states in which employment discrimination against LGBT workers is completely legal.

The Kickstarter campaign has attracted 156 backers raising $31,881 so far, but they must raise at least $50,000 by May 26, 2013 for the project to be funded.
