'Sweetwater' brings memories of Nat Clifton breaking NBA's color barrier and my father's role in historic event

I recently attended the world premiere of the movie "Sweetwater" with my wife, Ann, children Joe and Chamy and her husband, Michael. We thought it would be great, we hoped it would be great, and it exceeded our expectations. Everett Osborne, the actor who plays Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton, is outstanding. Jeremy Piven does a remarkable job portraying my father's personality and his courage. Dahlia Waingort Guigui plays my mother. Seeing my parents portrayed on the big screen was so emotional. I had cried through an at-home preview last week, and the tears of joy flowed freely again. Both times I held Ann's hand with a tight grip throughout the movie.
