Spotlighting this two-part film event, Director Reginald Hudlin added, “This is a movie of winners. They all have their own path and their own way to success. And whether you are in the entertainment business or not, I think there are lessons to come from all of these amazing men and women.” Following the screening, he momentous evening continued with a panel discussion. The conversation was moderated by Emmy Award-winning journalist and host Kelley Carter and featured ‘Number One on the Call Sheet: Black Leading Men in Hollywood’ Director Reginald Hudlin, and producers Datari Turner and Dan Cogan.
