MISSION
TRAIN: The Dick “Night Train” Lane story comes courtesy of two of his sons (Richard Lane Jr. & Richard Walker), commemorating the 70th anniversary of his entry into professional football and setting the unbroken interception record, 50th anniversary of his Hall of Fame induction and the 20th anniversary of his passing. Upholding and sharing the legacy of their father’s life and his Hall of Fame career is one aspect of the documentary’s inspiration. Night Train’s story is a trans-generational tale that deserves to be told from the perspectives of the very lives he touched.
This remarkable narrative delves into the challenges of a man who confronted the harsh realities of an unwanted birth, poverty, and segregation on his journey to the pinnacle of his profession. Life's path is rarely straightforward, yet Night Train's unwavering determination to surmount the odds stands as a beacon of inspiration for those navigating uncertain futures. His resilience in overcoming obstacles serves as a guiding light for individuals striving to triumph over adversity and attain greatness.
