Frederick Newell discusses the founding of Dream City, a nonprofit supporting youth and families in Iowa City, along with insights from filmmaker Chris Ward about his new documentary.
Frederick Newell came to Iowa City 20 years ago as a college freshman and single father, who recognized a need for support for young parents and underrepresented Iowans.
