The film, KING RICHARD, directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, tells the story of how Richard Williams, the father of Venus and Serena Williams, was determined to transform their lives into tennis legends. Interestingly enough, Green's father wanted him to become a professional baseball player. What happens when a father's dreams are shattered? What if Venus and Serena never achieved stardom as champion tennis players? I SEE U host Eddie Robinson speaks candidly with acclaimed filmmaker, Reinaldo Marcus Green about what real fatherhood looks like for men of color. Dr. Melanye Price, Director of the Ruth Simmons Center for Race and Justice at Prairie View A&M University, also weighs in and provides a provocative observation to Richard Williams' motives.
