Commentary
“Uncle Tom II”—the new film by Executive Producer Larry Elder and Director Justin Malone—opens with a shot of Chad Jackson (proprietor of Chad O. Jackson Plumbing) preparing a plumbing site with an excavator. It’s a beautifully photographed scene of an intensely focused young man operating a complex machine in order to build something.
