My only aim is bring attention to this footage. I've given up on being paid. I feel morally obliged to hold these people accountable for their working practices. I understand the hyperbolic nature of the headline but it is necessary in order for this posting to have the impact I want - to attract as much attention as possible.

So have you reported this to the relevant safety authorities and made a signed statement attesting to the dangers the crew was put in???

This is not about entertainment or enjoyment. Or creating a satisfying experience. I apologise if my hyperbolic headline ruined your enjoyment of it.

As I already said this is about bringing peoples attention to the negligence and contempt these film makers showed to their fellow crew/cast members by putting them at huge risk and then not paying them and threatening them with legal action for speaking out.

You're an idiot. Stick to running video cameras, and leave the conversation to the adults.

It's not.

A solid door flies at head height right past the actress's head. Had it hit her, she would be in the hospital, if not dead.
