- Program Description
In this magazine presentation, we hear first from Brockton-born Ted Lopes, the reigning Mr. Universe, who tells the story of one man's determination to rise to the top of his sport. He explains his plans to steer young people into a life full of possibilities. The second segment takes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie "Ricewood Creek," and the life of its director Deborah Shariff. This film describes the effort required to break into business where women of color are almost non-existent. The filmmaker will tell us about the obstacles she faced, including time spent in a homeless shelter, in bringing her dream to the screen.
