Two prominent Irish filmmakers have announced that they are making a television movie about former medical practitioner and convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell.
According to Breitbart News, Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney decided to create the movie because the public isn't fully aware just how grisly Gosnell's crimes truly were.
McAleer, who wrote and produced FrackNation and Mine Your Own Business, set out to demonstrate the lack of general knowledge on the Philadelphia abortionist's case.
He and McElhinney asked people who they knew better, Gosnell or Jodi Arias.
Arias was convicted of murdering ex-lover Travis Alexander in his Arizona home.
Nearly all of the people the two filmmakers interviewed could instantaneously identify Arias, whose trial was heavily publicized by most news outlets.
Meanwhile, most could barely recognize Gosnell - one passerby asked whether he was "Nelson Mandela? No?" before admitting she did not recognize him.
"ABC correspondent Terry Moran described Kermit Gosnell as 'America's most successful serial killer,' but no one knows his name or any of the details of his crimes, and they certainly know nothing about his victims," McAleer told Breitbart News.
"This just goes to show you that the media focuses on the trials they want us to be concerned about," one of the women interviewed says toward the end of the video.
"This is why we are making this movie," the closing screen reads.
The two filmmakers launched an IndieGogo campaign for the film that has already gained more than $400,000.
McElhinney told Breitbart that she and McAleer chose to "[make] a TV movie so that Americans no longer have the truth hidden."
"Jodi Arias killed one man," she said. "Kermit Gosnell killed thousands of babies in a 40-year killing spree, but everyone knows about Arias."
Gosnell's project will be open for donations at IndieGogo for 36 more days.
