Courtney Lauren Penn, Boundless Pictures' Founder, had the opportunity to sit down and interview several gifted students of the TrueSpark educational program at the Children's Village in Harlem, New York. They got to chat about movies, their life's aspirations and inspirations and who their real life heroes are. One of the students (pictured), Christopher Amare, was generous enough to describe how his Mother, Christina, reminds him of the iconic move Rocky in her daily sacrifices for his safety and protection and that, Christina, like Rocky, inspires Chris every day and has taught him humility.
