Manage episode 376264540 series 3419350
As an Emmy Nominated Producer and Film Director, Kay Sumner has been making waves in the entertainment industry. She has an impressive track record, boasting three Emmy nominations and not one but two People's Choice awards. Her claim to fame includes being the co-creator and producer of the renowned show The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, but her most recent project aims to change the most lives.
Kay, along with her husband Murray, created the film Survivor. The compelling documentary ventures into the real stories of triumph over opioid addiction and the heart-wrenching tales of loss. However, for the Sumners, the film is more than just a project – it's a channel for grief and a heartfelt tribute to their late son. A talented musician, her son's life was tragically cut short by a drug overdose at 43.
In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, host Angela Kennecke sits down with the Sumners to delve into their mission, their aspirations, and what they hope to achieve through their impactful work.
