The Great Alaskan Race is the true story of Balto and Togo, sled dogs who delivered the antitoxin for the deadly diphtheria outbreak in the 1920s. The film is the passion project of Brian Presley, who not only acted in it, but also wrote, directed, and produced it.

Presley and co-star Treat Williams dropped by The Beat on 1 to discuss the film with anchor Kelvin Washington.
