Narrated by Angela Hill, a longtime friend of the Bensons and former news anchor for WWL-TV, the documentary traces the life of the business tycoon.
Filming of the documentary began in August 2017 with the 90th birthday celebration for Tom Benson at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Production continued throughout the football season and provides a behind-the-scenes look at Benson’s game day traditions that begin with a private mass in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Hill sat down with Tom and Gayle for candid interviews about their lives. Interviews also include Benson’s nephew Larry Benson, Jr., Archbishop Gregory Aymond, president of the Saints and Pelicans Dennis Lauscha, Executive Vice President and General Manager Mickey Loomis, Audubon Institute President Ron Forman and others who offer insight into the homegrown hero.
