The acclaimed documentary film COLORS OF CHARACTER, the Steve Skipper story, has just been released on DVD. The film tells the story of a young African American painter who dreamed of a career as an artist. However, racism, family strife, and other factors left him frustrated and disillusioned. As a teenager, he turned to the street gang the Crips and was headed in a dangerous direction. But almost on a dare, he attended a church service and his life was not only changed forever but likely saved that night. 

Today, Steve Skipper is recognized as one of the top untrained artists. His inspirational paintings, portraits and action paintings of top athletes, civil rights commemorative works hang in the homes of collectors, museums, galleries and more across the country.

COLORS OF CHARACTER was produced by Fig Tree Media Group and is a theatrical-length documentary movie. One of the principals in Fig Tree is Don Keith, a prolific author who wrote the book DREAM ON on which the film is based. Keith wrote and produced the film, which was directed by Chris Danielson. Warren Callaway was director of photography.

Don Keith co-author David Rocco interviewed for "This is Why We Stand" program about WWII hero Dixie Kiefer and the Mt. Beacon 8.

Kiefer was Executive officer on the USS Yorktown at both the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway, then the captain of the aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga.
