Nathaniel Kendrick is a longtime electrician on film and television sets. He often works as a gafer, which is the head of the electrical department. They are the ones who bring lighting to sets.

Nathaniel says it is important to remember all the unsung heroes who paved the way for other cast and crew members of color. He talked with host Kalena Boller about some of the early African American electricians he’s worked with in Georgia.
