This film was the closing feature @ the BronzeLens Film Festival, Nov 2011, sharing with us Kenny Leon's journey and his admiration for August Wilson. Corey Barksdale, KeithKNOWS member has a cameo appearance, doing what he does best, painting a more than life size portrait of August Wilson. The film is a must see, powerful, emotional, provocative!
