Unfortunately, we have to decline your request for interview given the ongoing litigation in this matter. Regards, Public Information Officer FBI Miami From: Hakimah Shah [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2019 4:16 PM To: Subject: Media Request Hello My name is Hakimah Shah. I'm a producer at Radical Media. We are developing a series about wealth and justice in America - part of which focuses on convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. I am writing to request an interview with you and/or one of the bureau's agents who was involved in the Jeffery Esptein investigation for our series. The F.B.I.'s voice is integral to our story and hope that you will consider participating - at the very minimum, off camera. Below I have provided some information about our production company. About Radical Media: Radical Media is an Oscar®, Emmy®, Grammy® and Peabody® Award-winning studio whose work includes the Oscar®- winning documentary, The Fog of War, Oscar®-nominated and Emmy®-winning film, What Happened, Miss Simone? Among others. Additionally, the executive producer of this program is Joe Berlinger — a recognized pioneer in the genre of true crime documentaries. He has drawn attention to social justice issues in the U.S. and abroad in landmark films such as: Brother's Keeper, a DGA Award-winner and his trilogy for HBO titled Paradise Lost, about the West Memphis Three, (a group of teenage boys sentenced to death and life imprisonment for crimes they didn't commit). The Paradise Lost series is widely credited with helping to win the release of the wrongfully convicted boys, and won both Emmy and Peabody Awards, and earned Berlinger an Academy Award® nomination. EFTA00162956 We plan to film in the South Florida area this spring. In the meantime, it would be great to know if this is something you can speak on publicly and if any of the investigators who worked the case would be available for a call and possibly on camera. Please let me know there are further questions. I look forward to your response. Best, Hakimah Shah Producer office: 212-462-1667 cell: 917-767-1729 EFTA00162957
