“Banked Blood” The Charles Drew Story

“Banked Blood” The Charles Drew Story
From Award winning Director Kathleen "Bo" Bobak

This film is dedicated to all whose reach knows no bounds. And to all who have ever donated blood, the Gift of Life. An inspirational story of scientific discovery, great accomplishments, and finding your true calling. Set under the shadow of racial inequality in the late 1930's, Banked Blood is the true story of an African American Surgeon who lived by the mantra, “Be so excellent you can’t be ignored."

Toolbox Film, will be filming “Banked Blood” in Jacksonville.
