I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the legacy of our AOM than to post this great and informative documentary from filmmaker Gary Keys of course the irony is not lost here in that Duke never celebrated his own birthday which is covered in the film. Enjoy and let us know what you think about the film and perhaps if you are so moved let us know about a tidbit or two that you may have learned from the film that you didn’t already know about Duke.
