About

In 2016, IRP Inc. continued production on two major investigative documentaries: 'Slaves Among Us' and 'Who Killed Lt. Van Dorn?' -- completing trailers and video samples for each project.

Outside of production, IRP Inc. provided consulting to the World Justice Project and a well-known Mexican filmmaker on a major project on police corruption in Mexico. IRP Inc. also announced a first of its kind affiliation agreement with the University of California at Berkeley, as well as an unprecedented first look deal with Amazon Prime Video, a premium on-demand streaming service.
