Now, for the first time on DVD, two award-winning films by writer/director Kenny Kemp: FEDORA: No man is alone who has friends. When Julio Esperanza is diagnozed with cancer, he must face his own mortality for the first time. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments leave him sickly, thin, and bald. When his own daughter doesn't recognize him, Julio is overcome with grief and despair. But faith and hope light the way as Julio's family and friends discover a remarkable and unique way to share his burden. Their creativity and humor are a living example of the transcendent power of love. No man is alone who has such friends, and Julio Esperanza was blessed with dozens of them. This award-winning film is based on a true story. WILDEST DREAMS: And you thought your day was bad! Randy Sloan is afraid to go to sleep.
