As a cricketing tourist, he's shown an uncommon appreciation for the peculiar attractions of foreign lands; to his wife, Jane, he's the rock that's stood by her through her battle...
...like a child into a war zone--through the streets of a toxic inner city? Is he on a quest for instant martyrdom? No. He's Tommy Johnson, an ex-drug dealer now known as Tommy the Hip-Hop Clown, and he's recruiting some of the best local talent of South Central Los Angeles to help create a frenetic, feel-good style of dance called clowning. Missionaries of optimism, they go about, one clowner says, "making smiles where there were no smiles, laughter where there was no laughter," and turning the meanest Los Angeles turf into what one proud...
