Man on a Mission: The Transformative Power of the Arts.
The recent winner of "Best Documentary" at the Golden Door
International Film Festival and “Merit Award” from Impact Docs, Man on a
Mission tells the remarkable story of Carmine Tabone who embarked on a
forty-five year journey using the arts as a means of building
community and teaching literacy with young people in Jersey City. The
documentary explores Tabone’s artistic philosophy which is deceptively
simple and yet profound. Rather than being the exclusive talent of the
gifted few, the arts are really a way for healthy communities to form,
solidify and prosper.
