A FATHER’S PROMISE Director Rick Korn

Today we are joined by director Rick Korn to discuss his documentary film A FATHER’S PROMISE The film, produced by Sheryl Crow, tells the story of professional musician Mark Barden whose life changed instantly when his son Daniel was murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary. After the loss of his son, Mark lost all interest in music and vowed to do everything in his power to help prevent gun violence so that no one else must go through what he and his family went through. The film follows Mark as he turned his tragedy into activism and in doing so rediscovered his lost passion for music. The documentary features performances and interviews from Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, Darryl DMC McDaniels, Bernie Williams, and more, as well as music by John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, Steve Winwood, David Shaw (The Revivalists), and others. Ultimately, this documentary was another way for Barden to connect and heal through music, as well as to honor Daniel's life and memory. A FATHERS PROMISE world premiere and North American theatrical run begins on December 8th in New York City. For more information go to www.afatherspromisefilm.com
