Cartel Revenge Documentary Sample

I’m putting together a proof-of-concept documentary titled “10 Times Cartels Took Brutal Revenge on the Hells Angels” and need a polished sample segment to show investors the creative direction. The finished piece must be delivered in MP4 and keep a serious, documentary tone throughout.

You’ll be free to draw from public-domain or licensed news footage, archival stills, newspaper clippings, and subtle motion-graphics to stitch together one of the ten stories. Clean narration, tension-building sound design, and tasteful lower thirds are essential—think Vice or Netflix style rather than sensational “shock” edits.

I’ll supply a basic outline of the incident to cover; you handle script tightening, voice-over recording (or sourcing), editing in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, colour grading, and rights-cleared background music. The goal is a compelling 2-3 minute sample that proves we can treat a violent subject with journalistic restraint while still gripping viewers.

Deliverable:
• 1 complete MP4 video (1080p, 24 or 30 fps) ready for review, including any project files so tweaks are easy.

If you’ve cut hard-hitting crime docs before, drop a link; otherwise, let me see your best factual storytelling work. I’m ready to move as soon as I find the right editor.
