VIDEO:  Superstar
 
 
With the support and guidance of his family, nothing will stop Naiquan Greene from becoming a superstar. From the Director: Most of my immediate family members had aspirations to do great things in life that they were never able to achieve, such as becoming a reporter or an architect. My family’s failed attempts to reach their goals prepared me for any obstacles in the future that might prevent me from achieving my own goals. I wanted to document this and make a heartfelt film.
