(upbeat music)

- And welcome to Studio 5.

Martin sheen, Todd Dulaneyand Anthony Bourdain.

We will spend a little timefocusing on each of them

in this edition of Studio 5,

but first, let's fireup this week's countdown

of the top five headlines

in the world of uplifting entertainment.

Here are the first two

(air whoosh)

- [Narrator] At number five.

- The recent study thatwas done in Germany's

major's university Medical Center

says that increasing amount of noise

can actually throw yourheart out of rhythm.

- [Narrator] The best ofbirthday wishes, T. D. Jakes,

the preacher who alsograces magazine covers,

makes movies, and haswritten his 41st book,

"Don't Drop The Mic.

- I'm curious what you would say

if you could go backto young Thomas Dexter

in light of all the greatthings that he would face.

Expose the challenges.

What advice would you tell that young man.

- To read everything you can find.

- Wow!

- To get every morsel ofeducation you can get,

to take yourself a wholelot more seriously,

because I had no idea that I would be me.

I had no idea.

I would have done everything differently

if I would've known.

But the problem with that is this,

if you change the recipe,you change the result.

(air whoosh)

- [Narrator] Number four.

- I literally grew up surrounded by God.

- [Narrator] The boss, Bruce Springsteen,

helps to turn the lights back on,

on Broadway.

Bruce Springsteen's,Springsteen on Broadway,

will be back on the stage,June 26th for a limited run.

This wasn't a show that wasshut down because of COVID.

It debuted in 2017,

and Springsteen stoppedit over a year later.

He says he loved doing it,

and he's thrilled to be apart of reopening Broadway.

- And when the church bells rang,

the whole clan would hustle up the street.

(air whoosh)

- And we'll continuethis week's countdown,

picking it back up at numberthree in just a little bit.

For our first story,

we wanna travel backto the great depression

and the story of a man

who gives up a position of privilege

to coach football at a Texas orphanage.

This ragtag family of players

find themselves risingto become an inspiration

to their city, their state,and an entire nation.

And actor Martin Sheen helpsto bring this true story

to the big screen.

He's with us in Studio 5 toshare "12 Mighty Orphans".

(air whoosh)

- Name's Harvey Nual Russell.

I'm the new math science teacher.

- The football coach?

(laughs)

- Would you call this a miracle story?

- They'll never make it on the outside.

- For me, every day is a miracle story,

if you live through it

and you're lookingforward to the next one.

- The way I see it,

you can either work thefield or play the field.

- Hell, sounds good to me.

I'm in.

- It's of course just a miracle story.

It's about service to each other.

It's about the old adage,

"When we serve others first,we serve ourselves best."

- Ready, set, hike!

(laughs)

- This is going to be evenmore work than you imagined.

- It's about the miracleof creating community

and looking out for each other

and not worried about yourself.

- [Harvey] Today we'regoing up against the team

that's won two state championships.

- Stay down on the dirt whereyou belong loser orphan.

- That's a funny formation.

It's your new offense.

Plan up the courtyard, directthe behind AP for the snap.

- What position does that make me, coach?

- [Harvey] We'll call you the quarterback.

This is how we're goingto beat the bigger teams.

We don't have the size,

so we gotta utilizewhat we do have, speed.

- You finally got a team.

- What was it about thisstory and your character,

that made you say, yes, I'vegotta be a part of this.

- Oh well, you know,

the moment I finished reading the script,

I said, yes, without hesitation.

I didn't know that it was a true story.

- Every second that they're on the field,

we're losing money.

- I was intrigued by theperiod of the great depression.

The depression has alwaysintrigued me for some reason.

But the character of Doc himself

really penetrated the best part of me.

He'd lost his wife inchildbirth and never remarried.

So he was just this endearing character.

- When are you gonna standup for these children

and do what's right?

Juanita, we have a chance tomake a real difference here.

- They don't want you to win.

Everybody's gonna be behindthe team with nothing,

just like them.

- Am I correct that youguys had real life orphans

involved in this?

- Oh yeah, pretty much, yeah.

They invited us to use the facilities,

both interior and exterior.

So they let us film on the grounds

where all the practice ofthe football took place.

And inside, we filmed inside,

and there were children whowere members of this community.

And I think we were a nuisance to them,

(laughs)

but they were very, very welcoming.

And they were very curiousabout what we were up to.

They'd never seen a movie set before,

and now they're part of it.

The last scene where we were all gathered

on the front steps,

that is the orphanage,

the facade of the orphanage.

And all those children,

you know, together with the cast and crew,

are members of that community

and the staff are that orphanage, yeah.

- [Harvey] It's hard to believe

when all you've known is hurt and loss.

I look at you boys,

and I can honestly sayI'm proud to be an orphan.

And you'll feel the same way

if you can believe in yourselves

and believe in each other.

- How timely is this film and its message

for what we're seeingin our world right now?

- Well, I think that we have...

We're always looking for a way

to unite the will of the spiritwith the work of the flesh.

And whenever we're able todo that, we become whole.

And I think that that wastried during the pandemic

in a very very specific way on all of us.

No one was gonna get out of this.

And the only way we couldget through it, was together.

And so that image of trying tounite the will of the spirit

with the work of the flesh

was a great sense of community to me.

(air whoosh)

- The film is based on thebook, "12 Mighty Orphans",

the inspiring true storyof the Mighty Mites

who ruled Texas Football.

And it is in theaters Friday.

That is June 11th.

- Welcome back to Studio 5.

That leaves us with only one more story

to share in this week's countdown.

We'll have it for youin just a few moments.

In the meantime, Todd Dulaneyis a dynamic worship leader,

husband, father and prolific songwriter.

And he has an all new projectinspired spontaneously

by the written word of God.

Here's the sample as we beginour chat with Todd Dulaney

(air whoosh)

♪ Let's go for it, come on ♪

How long has this projectbeen in the works for you?

- Too long.

And from (beep) long.

(chuckles)

♪ We summon you, Holy Spirit ♪

♪ Tell Him, come a little closer ♪

What happened was,

we recorded this project, "Anthem & Glory"

in 2019, the end of 2019.

And thinking that we were gonna release it

at the top of 2020,

and then something called a pandemic hit

and ruined it for me.

And so, but I'm gladthat we get a chance now

to be encouragement inone of the craziest times

in the history of the world.

So I think it's right on time

even though I felt likeit was it's too long.

(laughs)

♪ Your praises ♪

♪ And nothing matters aslong as you feel the room ♪

- Tell me about the process.

There's a lot that happened tomake that spontaneity happen.

So tell me about the process.

- That's right.

So, we produce the songs, right?

And then we look for the moment.

That's what I tell my (indistinct).

So we don't wanna miss moments

or even try to bypass them,go quickly through them.

And so we've become really really strong

at maximizing moments on stage.

- I think one of your signatures has been,

over the years for you,

rendering anthems that churches sing

over and over and over again.

Is that intentional?

How does that happen?

- Absolutely.

That's something that whenI used to play baseball,

I used to go to like nightclubs

or like the beach where there, you know,

they would be singing these songs

and everybody would besinging on one accord.

And so I said,

if we could get that kindof unity in the church,

it's a beautiful thing.

And so I fell in love with it there,

brought that model of here.

And when I started writing songs,

I said, I wanna writesongs that are contagious

and that people can't stop singing.

♪ I feel good about it ♪

♪ Let me, let me see you clap now ♪

- Nice.

What's this last year or sobeen like to you personally?

I know it's been rough for our world

to watch things unfold,racially, politically, health.

- It's been a pretty amazing year for me

because it challenged me to become better.

It challenged me to become more.

And I'm a better man thanI've ever been right now.

Like I'm the best versionof myself right now.

And the pandemic brought that out of me.

The racial tension walked that out of me.

You know why?

Because it forced me to have to deal

with different things in myself

that I probably wouldhave never dealt with

had it not been for the adversitythat we faced as a world.

He was definitely searching for something.

(air whoosh)

- I saw what you didagainst Corsicana in 34.

- Oh, yeah.

- That's why I recommendedyou for this job.

- You did?

- Yes, sir.

- Why did you do that doctor?

- Like I said, I like your optimism.

- In many ways, it seemslike all of the characters

in the film are sort of underrated,

people aren't expecting much of them.

Coach included.

Have you experienced anyof that in your life,

being underrated and sort of written off?

(chuckles)

- No, I've been very lucky.

You know, I had this sense ofcommunity very, very young.

And it wasn't drummed into us,

it was just handed to us

that this is the way you become yourself.

So I grew up Catholic, you know,

in a small community in Dayton, Ohio.

And I'm still close to that community.

They formed me.

The sisters of Notre Dame there.

And then I went to a Catholichigh school, Chaminade,

the Marianists society there,

and they were very, very encouraging.

And I'm lucky enough to maintain my faith.

It's been a great sourceof comfort and nourishment

and grace through this last ayear and a half in particular.

So I consider myself very, very lucky,

(air whoosh)

- Martin Sheen, thank you so much.

That is a great final wordfor this edition of Studio 5

and this week's look atuplifting entertainment.

Until next time, make timeto uplift someone around you.

And then please come on back

and see where Studio5 takes you next week.

Bye-bye.

Thank you so much for watching.
