In this episode, the PVO Bros. keep it in-house with their very own Dayo Okeniyi as he chronicles his journey of landing and carrying the leading role of Shields Green in the true-life epic movie EMPEROR. A film that charts the emotional and harrowing journey of ex-slave runaway Shields "Emperor" Green from Charleston, South Carolina to freedom In Rochester, New York. Shields later runs into, and partners with the famous abolitionist John Brown as well as the distinguished Frederick Douglass. The film climaxes with Shields participation in John Brown's inspiring yet unfortunately unsuccessful raid on Harpers Ferry, an attempt to overtake the arsenal and arm all the slaves in the surrounding area to spark a revolution. Along with the physical and psychological preparation that Okeniyi went through in the making of the film, he also opens up about the unfortunate effects that the current COVID pandemic crisis had on the film's release and reception as well as the amazing plethora of life long lessons and gifts that he has received not just from going through this experience but from every role he has played in his career to date. As always here on the PVO podcast, we never forget to keep things Positive Vibes Only. So tune in and Enjoy!
