Great story of my father. Well done with factual information. Dave was a really good friend to my father in life and after death.

Great to hear from Mr. McKinley’s daughter! John Messam my co-producer and I both went to Calabar, as you know your father is a legend there. It was an honour to make the film, it was shown on local TV in Jamaica for the launch of the London Olympics broadcast. Sadly John passed away a couple years ago. Thanks for the kind comments 🙏
