A Brooklyn native who has been acting for 20 years is sending a message of motivation through his new film. 

Richardson Desil says his film ‘Champion Rebirth’ was aimed at motivating anyone who is in need of a sign or push. 

Although life has not always dealt Desil fair cards, he says he continues to push through -- a major focus in the film. 

News 12’s Elly Morillo talks with Desil about the film and more.
