Episode 10: Lenny Shiller's Famous Cars, and the Search for a Lost Father
25 Dec 2015
Lenny Shiller owns some of the most recognizable cars around; his vintage vehicles have been appearing in movies for years (often with Lenny at the wheel). We’ll visit the garage in Brooklyn they call home. A black woman raised in a white family searches for the biological father she never knew, a man known as Big Brown, while coming to terms with her race.
