The Price is a sweeping, in-depth, thought-provoking look at an inflection point in big-time college football.

We’ve watched him win Canadian Men’s Player of the Year six times; celebrated his club team championships; and mourned his injuries. We’ve lamented the state of Canadian soccer and cursed the lost potential—and years. Yet, we know little about Atiba’s personal life, or how he rose from suburban Brampton to becoming Canada’s most-capped national men’s team player, often described as the country’s greatest athlete you haven’t heard about.

There is no position in pro sports more important than an NFL quarterback. But quarterbacking was the exclusive domain of white players for many years, and when Doug Williams and Vince Evans arrived in the league in the late 1970s, they got death threats, faced racist questions, and knew that a single mistake could end their careers. The Great Black Hope tells the twin stories of Vince Evans, an electrifying dual-threat quarterback ahead of his time, and of Doug Williams, the first Black quarterback to become a champion.

Before Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders, there were only nineteen men, throughout history, who played in the Major Leagues of baseball and in the National Football League, in the same season. Only one man from that group, Walter French, can lay claim to having played for a World Series winner and an NFL Championship team. In 1925, he starred for the Pottsville (PA) Maroons in their win over the Chicago Cardinals, in what was believed to be the NFL championship game, only to see the title stripped by a league office decision, a controversial move still being argued about today.

To make matters worse, his teachers had no idea either. Not being able to read could have kept him from succeeding and left him trapped in the lower middle income neighborhood he grew up in. But the unquenchable desire to succeed no matter the odds took over, just as it did as a six year old kid teaching himself to tackle taking on a varsity lineman in pickup games in his neighborhood.

This is a story of pain, discomfort, fear and rejection and how an action man learns to embrace and listen to his spirit. In Search of Marvellousness is a story where everything happens at once and time is fluid, not unlike Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse-Five”, but without the extraterrestrials. It’s a tale of a life filled with adventure and travel like Roald Dahl’s “Going Solo” but without a war.

Съемки проходили в небольшом финском городе Миккели, и на протяжении пяти дней Вернику посчастливилось много общаться с великой балериной. А спустя годы появилась идея на основании этих бесед сделать книгу, тем более, что большинство материалов не вошли в фильм из-за ограниченного хронометража. Эта книга — попытка автора показать Майю Плисецкую «своими глазами», нарисовать портрет без позирования и всевозможных мифов вокруг ее имени.
