Storytelling done right

With the Upper Midwest Regional Emmys taking place on Saturday, I thought it would be fun to post some of my favorite video stories. I could probably make an entire post with just Boyd Huppert’s stories, but I thought I’d share the love. Add your favorites below!

1) Portrait of Compassion

2) High school wrestlers carry on

Two high school wrestlers, one blind and one with no legs, discover the meaning of true friendship.

3) Octogenarian holds her ground

When Seattle developers offered her a reported $1 million to sacrifice her home, 86-year-old Edith Macfield didn’t move a muscle.

4) The Animal Odd Couple

Steve Hartman visits an animal sanctuary where a dog and an elephant have formed a very lasting, and unusual, friendship.

5) Lemonade Kid

You could learn a lot about business from the suits in the high rises downtown. Or you could set your sights on the power-suited pre-teen bringing lemonade and second looks to a sidewalk stand near bustling 50th and France.
