Fort Pierce - Friday May 19, 2023: This week on In Focus, with IRSC Public Media, we’re going to learn about GraceWay Village in Fort Pierce, a non-profit that has been providing food and clothing to the needy since 2009.
Chrystal Netherton started out as a volunteer and rose to become the CEO. We’ll hear about the services offered at GraceWay Village and the difference they’ve made in the lives of the people they serve.

Then, Florida Atlantic University Associate Professor Dr. Jim Masterson joins us to talk about The International Ocean Film Festival that is being held on June 2 at FAU's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in Fort Pierce.
Jim will tell us about the 6 award-winning independent films that focus on issues threatening our oceans, and what we can do to improve their health.
