Part One: Searching For Self From childhood to manhood, Octavio Warnock-Graham struggled with a pivotal question as his sense of self was developing. Family photos document his dilemma. Mom, Step-Dad and baby sister, uncles and his beloved grandmother were all very noticeably Caucasian. Young Octavio however looked like he was sporting more than just a tan! For whatever reason Octavio could never get the straight answer he was looking for. But the budding filmmaker turned his frustration into a remarkable 25 minute long film, about his search for his true identity, titled Silences. His film recently won the prestigious Angelus Award presented annually by Family Theater Productions. Kathy Golden talks with Octavio Warnock-Graham.
Part Two: Last Chance Connection For his fourth book, Life,Death & Bialys; a Father/Son Baking Story, writer and criminal defense lawyer, Dylan Schaffer borrowed from a most gripping passage of his life. In 2002, Dylan, living in California received a phone call from his somewhat estranged Dad in New York. His father, also a writer and known as Flip to family and friends, was inviting his son to participate with him in a master baking course at the French Culinary Institute. The kicker both men were very aware the Flip had little time left due to end stage lung and bladder cancer. What followed, in the book and in real life is a remarkable story of reconciliation. Kathy speaks with author, Dylan Schaffer.
