It was a tumultuous week for left-leaning Marvel comics fans. A day after last Marvelous Da7e, Donald Trump held an event as counter-programming to the Gop political debate he wasn’t attending and the news broke that Marvel Comics CEO Ike Perlmutter had donated $1 million to Trump’s veterans event.
Considering the site is called Latino-Review and Donald Trump has previously insinuated most Mexicans are rapists, it probably doesn’t surprise anyone that I was angry that I pay money to Perlmutter’s institution. Then again, the comic book industry isn’t as big an entity as the superhero blockbuster movie industrial complex. If you don’t buy a comic, the first people financially damaged are the creators working on that book and not all of them are in a position to speak publicly in a way to make their displeasure with Marvel known.

The Heroin Project screens Wednesday, July 22 at 5:00pm at the Tivoli Theater (6350 Delmar Boulevard St. Louis, Mo 63130) as part of this year’s St. Louis Filmmaker’s Showcase. Also on the program are the shorts Pedaling To Stop Pushing and Inner Demons. Ticket information can be found Here
The Heroin Project raises awareness about the devastating impact of heroin. Although focused on events in Madison County, Ill., the film documents a widespread but under-discussed problem that affects not just the St. Louis metro area but the entire country. Beyond the monetary cost of increased law-enforcement efforts and goods stolen from businesses, the negative effects of heroin are more accurately measured in the ever-growing number of young lives lost. Ashley Seering, co-director of The Heroin Project along with Cory Byers, took the time to answer some questions about her film.
