The Garbageman, A Life Worth Living
LGC Studios Earns Prestigious Emmy Nomination for Powerful Documentary Film "The Garbage Man, A Life Worth Living"
Edgewood, NY — August 6, 2024: LGC Studios, a division of Lorraine Gregory Communications, announces its Emmy nomination for the documentary film The Garbage Man, A Life Worth Living. This inspiring film chronicles the journey of Robbie Donno, a Long Island garbageman turned humanitarian icon, who has devoted his life to saving children around the world in dire need of pediatric heart surgery.
Greg Demetriou, CEO of Lorraine Gregory Communications said, “The Emmy nomination is a significant milestone for the company and testament to the talent and dedication of our LGC Studios team. Adding, Robbie's story is one of hope and resilience.”
Robbie Donno’s desire to make a positive impact, and the support of the local Rotary, paved the way for a Uganda child to receive lifesaving heart surgery at St. Francis Hospital in New York. This pivotal event led to the creation of the ‘Gift of Life International’ which celebrated its 50,000th child in 2024.
The documentary, spearheaded by Rich Poggioli, Director of Video Services at LGC Studios and a fellow Rotarian, aims to capture the magnitude of the Rotary’s work. “This film was a labor of love and a tribute to the incredible legacy of Robbie Donno. It is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can have on the world,” said Poggioli.
When told of the recognition, Donno said, “Watching our mission come alive in this film is incredibly heartwarming. It’s not only about the surgeries; it’s about transforming lives—both theirs and ours. It’s about healing families and restoring hope for those still waiting for our assistance. I am deeply grateful to LGC Studios for bringing our story to the screen.”
