"“Rising from Ashes” is a feature length documentary about two worlds colliding when cycling legend Jock Boyer moves to Rwanda, Africa to help a group of struggling genocide survivors pursue their dream of a national team. As they set out against impossible odds both Jock and the team find new purpose as they rise from the ashes of their past." - http://risingfromashesthemovie.com/about-film In this podcast we have documentary filmmaker T.C. Johnstone most known for his award-winning film Rising From Ashes. I talk to TC about how he became a filmmaker, developing and making Rising From Ashes, how he plans to follow that enormous success, and the commonalities between my journey and his journey! For someone who has achieved as much as he has, T.C. is super down-to-earth and just the nicest guy. In full disclosure, in our first conversation we had a technical issue that prevented us from finishing our conversation. As a result, this podcast is a two-part series that extends well into the second hour. As a reward for listening through the second hour you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at T.C. and some of the films that make us laugh. Enjoy!
