For some Copyright problems I had to stop the audio from 35'.20'' to 37'.40'' because "Lake People" doesn't allowed me to play a track of his new album in this video. I'm really sorry about that.

First in a series of damning footage filmed, edited (with minimal help from Grant Sperry), produced, and archived by Mike Kaly which implicates James Merendino of using real people and their histories without changing their names for the movie SLC Punk. Sandra Chotia talks about Sean Fightmaster's character in SLC Punk and the mythos vs the real Sean. Sean explains what "really" happened with the acid and the cops and who he really pulled a knife on.
Never seen the movie, only read the monologue. This is my interpretation of it. SLC Punk! (1998) - screenplay by James Merendino
