Esther Anderson and Larry Gartel At the Miami Film Festival
~What a great time last night at the opening of "A Warm December" starring Sidney Poitier and Esther Anderson. Esther was given a proclamation by the City of North Miami Beach, and honored by Elliot Jones (grandson of Maya Angelou.) The film itself created in 1972 was a defiant victory showcasing a successful black doctor being revered in a white man's world while meeting a Princess who had sickle cell anemia and bringing that disease to the consciousness of the public. - A tremendously heroic depiction by Sidney Poitier and a sensational confident, young woman in Esther Anderson. What an amazing human being she IS. Thank you for suggesting I go see the film and Esther. A highlight I have included in the GARTEL Life Book. ... Lawrence Gartel, Feb, 27, 2016
