Children interviewed stuntman Roy T Anderson: Wow, this guy's crazy!

from The Grandparents Storylab

In this episode of the Grand Parents Story Lab, children interviewed stuntman and filmmaker, Roy T Anderson. For more than twenty-five years he has performed stunts for Hollywood stars such as Will Smith, Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx, accumulating more than 400 production credits in the process. He has worked on box office hits such as "Men in Black 3," "The Dark Knight Rises," "Spiderman 2," "Bourne Ultimatum," "American Gangster," and top-rated TV shows; "Law & Order," and "Sopranos." He is also a film director. His film, Akwantu traces the journey of his ancestors, from Ghana to Jamaica- exploring his family's roots in the Jamaican Maroons, the first people from European colonies who successfully fought to free themselves from slavery and establish independent communities in the mountainous interior of Jamaica. This liberation struggle, came almost sixty years before the Haitian Revolution (1791), and almost one hundred years before the abolition of the slave trade (1834) in the former British colonies. Mr. Anderson is currently working on a documentary about the Pan Africanist, political activist, publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator, Marcus Garvey.  The Grandparents StoryLab is an intergenerational storytelling project that connects New York City's youngest and oldest generations through podcasts and art. Children are taught interview skills, and then interview the elders. This audio came out of workshops held at The Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art and Storytelling.
