#033 Off the Pitch with Active: Interview with Joel Franco from Chesapeake Films

Joel Franco is using his passion in film making in producing a
documentary about youth sport “Where our children play”. Three
out of four American families with school-aged children have at
least one playing an organized sport — that's a total of about 45
million kids. By age 15, as many as 80% of these youngsters have
quit.


The documentary intends to shed new light, perspective and expose
the truth to ensure that all those involved in youth sports can
join hands and work as one to return youth sports to the
children.
