I first met Bernard Ward, when I was directing a documentary about his long time friend, Demetrius ‘Hook’ Mitchell. Hook was a streetball legend and Bernard was known for his skills in his own right. When I went to Bernard’s home for the first initial interview, a young man emerged from a back bedroom, who […]
