Prescreen.com Releases PUT UP YOUR DUX

If you want to see the documentary about Frank Dux that begins to sort the truth about the legendary martial artist from the lies that almost destroyed his life and the lives of many of his supporters, click this link or copy and past it into your browser:https://prescreen.com/movie/Put-Up-Your-Dux. The site will make the film available to the general public for a short time, at a reduced rate. Gather your friends around the computer or download to your smart phone and view at your leisure. My novel, SHIDOSHI:The Four Ways of the Corpse--a story that was told to me, in essence by Frank Dux, 30 years ago--is based upon the concept that when people believe misinformation, disinformation and character assassination over their own experiences, then bad things can happen. While my book is a metaphor for all the "best laid plans" that go wrong because of human ego, greed and selfishness, PUT UP YOUR DUX is a demonstration that sometimes truth can be stranger than fiction. Again, you can view the full length movie at this site for $4, right now. This offer will not last long.
