THIS IS THE KIND OF STORY YOU DON’T EXPECT TO COME OUT OF NEPA — BUT IT DID.

A globally known icon.
A quiet training camp just down the road.
And a connection to this region that most people never realized existed.

That’s what makes “On Location: Revisited – Muhammad Ali: In This Corner — Deer Lake” different.

Led by nationally syndicated radio host Shadoe Steele (known locally as Rusty Fender) and Eric A. Ruggiero, this isn’t another documentary about Muhammad Ali.

It’s the story behind the story —
the one rooted right here in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

From Fighter’s Heaven in Deer Lake…
to the Greco family’s decades-long connection through Victor Greco…
to the unexpected truth that one of the most documented figures in history still had pieces of his life hidden in our own backyard.

And somehow — through timing, relationships, and a little bit of fate —
even Ali’s daughters became part of telling that story.

That’s not something you script.
That’s something you discover.

🎬 Private screening held at Sordoni Art Gallery
📺 Premiering locally on WBRE-TV 28 / WYOU-TV 22 around June 3

This isn’t just a documentary.
It’s a reminder that NEPA has been part of history all along — even when the world didn’t realize it.
