I’m excited to see the next episode of NOVA about a man named Joey Deacon. His story sounds really moving. It takes place in an institution and features remarkable performances by two actors portraying him as a boy and a young man. The real Joey and Ernie Roberts appear in the end. I’m glad this show will be shedding light on an important story. Join me in watching it on NOVA!
