110 Feet
Quote:
DOCUMENTARY DEBUT
Carlton Williams has spent more than a year trying to get his documentary complete, and the Canton native is just about there. The first episode of ?110 feet? is finished. It is about McKinley graduate and Minnesota Vikings safety Mike Doss.
Doss? Make A Difference foundation will host a youth football camp June 30 at Fawcett Stadium. Registration is today at the Edward ?Peel? Coleman Community Center.
?I?m more excited about the football camp and the spotlight being on Canton (from the documentary),? Doss said. ?It?s not necessarily about me. They followed me around, and it?s more about Canton, Ohio, and the way kids are raised in the inner city, then going to college and wanting to make it back as a Hall of Famer as a professional player in your own right.?
Williams contacted Cleveland Browns Hall of Famer Jim Brown to narrate the documentary. Brown obliged, and didn?t charge a fee.
STORY BEHIND ?110 FEET?
Williams measured the distance from the front gates of Fawcett Stadium to the steps of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It?s 110 feet.
?And it takes a 30-year journey to get there,? Williams said. ?You?re about 45 years old when you get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.?
The first episode is titled ?Mike Doss, the Story of a Champion.? Williams and friends financed the first chapter, costing about $82,000.
They followed Doss around last season and continued through his rehabilitation following knee surgery.

Doss has done what few people ever have by winning a championship at every level from Pop Warner to the Super Bowl. Wow.
