"We feel your documentary is one to which many families will be able to relate, raising significant awareness for NOAACF. You both have been through so much; it's beautiful to see your story expressed through various mediums."

"54 YEARS LATE is a grounded retelling of a true story of a man who suffered from cystic fibrosis his entire life but did not receive the proper diagnosis...as the disease was not commonly known to affect black people, black men in particular...."
"One of the most interesting and impactful parts of this short script is the missed diagnosis of Terry because of medical racism...a topic that feels especially timely and relevant"
"The story is heart-wrenching as you remember that this all actually happened, and the racial undertones of being mis-diagnosed and told that if he were a 'white man'..."
"The message is one of hope, the film clear cut purpose to spread awareness about African American Cystic Fibrosis."
"The crowd enjoyed the film very much. I wish you were there to see the audience'sreaction."
"This is a huge step forwards for awareness and action about Cystic Fibrosis in the Black community."
"A truly magnificent documentary "54 YEARS LATE". Your work and dedication on this film are admirable, along with your directing and overall filming. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing more movies from you."
"I am so incredibly happy for you and grateful that you and Terry are using your energy/voices to increase awareness. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!!!"
"The CF Film Festival allowed Michele and Terry Wright's film to spread the word about medical prejudice while telling his story. The Bonnell Foundation is so glad they won first place for a feature film in our debut year. We look forward to see what they do next year!"
