There's a difference between a superhero and a hero. Superheroes are fantasy. Heroes are real. And they're among us. But they're not defined by superpowers. It's their deeds that make them extraordinary.
DOC BOSTON BLACK HERO is a documentary/narrative hybrid that tells the story of DR. FRANK BOSTON (1890-1960). Doc Boston was a WWI veteran and a member of the all African American army unit, Buffalo Soldiers. He was also a doctor, surgeon, and the first black American to found both a hospital and an ambulance corps in the United States. Doc Boston was forgotten by history... until now.
We are a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit established to raise awareness of a forgotten black American hero and role model for a new generation. Our mission is to provide a more complete and inclusive view of history, and to encourage interest in medicine, emergency medical services, and the sciences. We have ambitious goals to share the uplifting Doc Boston story with the world by having a compelling documentary film produced and distributed on a streaming service such as Netflix or the like.
To that end, we have brought in our trusted collaborator, Emmy Award-winning Macintosh Films, to produce a film with dramatized scenes starring actors, testimonials with people who knew Doc Boston, and celebrity host segments to elevate distributor and audience interest in the film.
