"On A Roll" Documentary wins Independent Lens Audience Award!
Television is the next frontier in Greg's mission to enlighten and inspire. In 2005, Joanne Caputo's documentary film, "On A Roll: Family, Disability and the American Dream" aired nationwide on the PBS "Independent Lens" series and was chosen as the audience favorite, winning the coveted "Audience Award."
Greg is currently working to establish a regular presence on television in the form of a reality program involving people with disabilities, or a talk show format. The fact that the documentary was selected by viewers as the favorite is an indication that America is ready for a television personality with a severe disability.
