I have the pleasure and privilege of being an Executive Producer for the documentary, “BEYOND THEIR YEARS: THE INCREDIBLE LEGACIES OF HERB CARNEGIE & BUCK O’NEIL”

Herb Carnegie (hockey) & Buck O’Neil (baseball) were trailblazers but nonetheless were excluded from playing in the highest professional leagues of the sports they loved because of their race. They channeled the injustice they experienced into pioneering work that made their respective sports, and the world, more inclusive.

This is their story.  It captures their legacies and the effort put forth by Herb and Buck and their amazing allies who worked in unison towards the long overdue recognition of their remarkable lives.
