It has come to our attention that some individuals have made false claims regarding their participation on the film Mystic Voices: The Story of the Pequot War. Unfortunately, the participants have falsely listed themselves as having worked in a number of capacities for which no veracity can be claimed. While we have acknowledged and appreciated the actual contributions made by these participants to the success of the documentary, the individuals have claimed to have acted in a capacity that accurately reflects neither their actual participation nor the credits accorded by the producers.

Specifically, the claim made by Julianne Jennings (a.k.a Strong Woman) that she served as Associate Co-Producer (RI Location) of Mystic Voices: The Story of the Pequot War is inaccurate and misleading. Ms. Jennings actually served as Associate Producer ( Rhode Island ). In fact, for your edification there has been previous legal action which had been taken in order to avoid further confusion.

*To help explain things for those not involved in the film and television industry, here is a definition of the term Associate Producer:

Often a "gifted" title, granted by the producer(s) as a courtesy to someone who might have made a financial, creative or physical contribution to the production.

An individual who performs a limited number of functions on a production delegated to her/him by a producer, co-producer, executive producer, etc. The Associate often will act in a limited capacity and function, and does so under the direct supervision and control of the producer(s). Fairly uncommon in feature films, an Associate Producer is normally someone acting as a liaison between the producer(s) and a limited number of personnel (for television the Associate Producer often works in the post production process).

Additionally, no such title of "Associate Co-Producer" exists (to our knowledge) within the industry, and it certainly wasn't part of any personnel's titles involved in the production of Mystic Voices: The Story of the Pequot War.
