‘Child King’ screens in Boston
December 18th, 2008
From the Boston Globe, Fox 25 News:
Local actors and celebrities turned out in Boston for a screening of “The Child King,” starring Special Olympics athlete and first-time actor Peter Johnson (left).
Written by federal agent Jeff Kerr and produced by his brother, filmmaker Frank Kerr, the feature-length DVD is the story of a teenage boy with Down syndrome who takes his doubting little brother on a life-changing quest to find Santa Claus. It was created on a shoestring budget; profits go to the Child King Foundation to benefit children with intellectual disabilities.
