For Jessy Terrero, the filmmaker behind the new documentary on Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Bayron Matos, telling this specific story was important. But telling Dominican stories, in general, is also important. Remezcla talked to Terrero about the project showcasing Matos, how it came to be, and what it means for a Dominican to be able to tell Dominican stories.
As a general message for Latinos, and for Dominicans, Terrero found in Matos the perfect athlete to uplift. “This kid who came from humble beginnings and a neighborhood in the Dominican Republic that is sometimes riddled with violence, and see how he kind of overcame it, and sports was what saved his life.” Terrero shared. Matos’ Miami Dolphins contract can be traced back to the NFL’s International Pathway Program, which a lot of people don’t even know about and which Terrero hopes to showcase.
