This is what it's all about.

This is what I need backing for.
A significant part of the budget is needed for licensing archival material (from SRF) that brings the year 1971 to life. It allows the voices of the protagonists not only to be told, but to be experienced within the context of their history. The budget also covers travel expenses and font licensing.
