THE ROBERT SMALLS STORY
How Fans Can Unite to Change the World
The Robert Smalls Story is a perfect example of how fans can unite to change the world.
A couple years ago, somebody posted the Robert Smalls meme in the Legion M private facebook group. It quickly became clear that our community (which was only a few thousand people at the time) would be VERY interested in a Robert Smalls movie.
Then something unexpected happened. One of our investors (who is also a professional novelist) told us they had written a script about Captain Smalls. He asked if we'd like to read it. So we did. And it was good. Really good.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
Since then we've made it our mission get this movie made. It's Glory meets Ocean's 11 — an amazing and uplifting story about the most audacious heist in history. AND IT'S ALL TRUE!!
Today the Legion M community is over 130,000 strong (with more than 40,000 investors), and we've partnered with The Wolper Organization (producers of Roots) and legendary actor/producer/director Bill Duke to bring this movie to the screen.
THE TRUE STORY OF
ROBERT SMALLS

What if we could combine our power to benefit from the value we create?
Legion M was founded because we saw a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give YOU a voice and a stake in the entertainment industry. We're using disruptive new securities laws to unite one million fans as shareholders of the company and create a massive grassroots audience — a Legion of fans — with potential to reshape the future of Hollywood!

THE GRAPHIC NOVEL
The story of Robert Smalls is barely able to fit into one lifetime, let alone one feature film — so to start, we’re producing a graphic novel to expand on the narrative. We’ve enlisted the talents of artist Renzo to render Smalls' incredible deeds in stark relief. Check out a sneak peek at some of the first panels!
THE AUDACITY OF ROBERT SMALLS
Moore is the great-great-grandson of Robert Smalls, who commandeered a Confederate warship in 1862 and went on to become a naval hero for the Union in the American Civil War. Smalls also was the first African American to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Congress during the Reconstruction period and went on to start a railway company and newspaper, and was re-elected to Congress multiple times.
