Barry Crimmins, who is the subject of a new documentary film, "Call Me Lucky" directed by Bobcat Goldthwait has an incredible way of looking at the world. As a child he was a victim of the terrible crime of violent sexual assault. As an adult, he's made some amazing choices, choosing to be a protector, an activist, and a vocal citizen.
