  1. The film recently [won the Grand Jury Prize for Short Films at Sundance](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1qq0gxn/nba_all_star_steph_curry_wins_top_prize_at/)

    Ben Proudfoot is also a 2-time Oscar winner for his shorts The Queen of Basketball and The Last Repair Shop.

    >In the film, which blends new interviews with archival footage and watercolor animation sequences hand-painted by Brazilian artist Daniel Bruson, Dr. Jones, who is now 95, reflects on his life on the front lines of America’s Civil Rights Movement, and the personal toll experienced by himself and others as a result.

  2. Ben Proudfoot does not miss, and Dr. Clarence B. Jones telling his own story at 95 is going to hit hard.
