Hollywood filmmaker RaMell Ross shared background information about the making of his Oscar nominated documentary, “The Nickel Boys.” Adapted from the book written by Colson Whitehead, it is the true story of the Dozier School a boy's reformatory in the Panhandle. The juvenile reform school was a target of frequent state and federal investigations that were largely ineffective. It was later found that between 1914 and 1973 at least ninety-six boys died at the camp. Ross, a standout basketball player was injured and found his true love was photography. He is now a professor at an Ivy League school and will continue to tell stories through his own lens.

Frost wants us to, “Be aware this is only the beginning, but we can make it through!” The survival plan is to stay informed, be aware of all elections – there are 2- and 4-year terms plus special elections coming up for Governor in two states.
