Anson Carter (NBC Sports) talks with Willie O'Ree (film subject), Laurence Mathieu-Leger (Director/Producer/Cinematographer), Bryant McBride (Producer), and Ted Leonsis (Executive Producer and Washington Capitals owner ), after the US premiere of Willie at the Middleburg Film Festival.

In 1958, in the midst of America's tumultuous fight to end Jim Crow and the birth of the civil rights movement, Willie O’Ree, the descendent of escaped slaves, became the first African American player in the National Hockey League.
