One of Ann Arbor’s best educators is standing and delivering in a new documentary.
Excerpt:
In a new film about his life, Ann Arbor educator Joseph Dulin is portrayed as part drill sergeant, part psychiatrist, part motivational speaker and part Wal-Mart greeter in the halls of Roberto Clemente Student Development Center.
The documentary film "Bridging the Gap" shows many scenes where troubled students and worried parents enter the principal's office. After Dulin is done with his pep talk, they are hugging and crying.
There were two advance screenings of documentary about the 73-year-old Dulin Friday at the Music Hall Center in Detroit. The movie will be released later this winter when the film festivals get under way.
Dulin's been principal at Clemente - an alternative Ann Arbor public school for at-risk eighth- through 12th-graders - for more than 30 years. The filmmakers followed him for three school years.
