Shooting the "Detroit 139" Pilot

The National Documentary Unit at Detroit Public TV (WTVS) is developing a new series called "Detroit 139" about people who are working to bring back the 139 square miles of the city of Detroit. I got the chance to interview Coach Khali Sweeney about his Downtown Youth Boxing Gym for the show's pilot episode. Part academic, part mentorship, the gym's boxing program for at-risk urban youth is getting students off the streets, and into the ring.
