Episode 7: 100% Perfection

from Paint the Sun: A Boy's Journey

In this episode, we step into the world of the Kursel family of Bessemer, Pennsylvania circa 1930. We see life through the eyes of Joe and Linda’s growing family as they navigate the grit of industrial America, from the booming cement industry to the stark realities of poverty. Despite scarcity, there was joy—games played under streetlights, homemade baseballs and Independence Day fireworks. And as Joel grows from boyhood into young adulthood, his glory on the basketball court ignites dreams of greatness beyond his small cement town.
