Darren Durlach and David Larson first met Richard Antoine White about nine months before starting the project on him.
The co-directors – once journalists – fell for White’s story and wanted to weave it into a documentary about art education in America.
White experienced poverty and homelessness on the streets of West Baltimore’s Sandtown neighborhood while living with his mother, who struggled with alcoholism.
......................
He was eventually raised by his mother’s adoptive parents, Richard and Vivian McClain, who gave him his first instrument, a trumpet, in fourth grade.
