History can also be rewritten through animation. In 1810, the very first black boxing champion lost the world title thanks to deceit. An unusual combination of text and live-action animation brings the way things really happened to life. Deron Albright works in Philadelphia as cameraman and film- and video director, and he also teaches at the Saint Joseph University. He directed several short films, like The Legend of Black Tom which got favourable reviews at various international film festivals.
