For many years Professor Paul Sheriff has been working on a documentary honoring his sister, accomplished gymnast Hali Sheriff. Recently the Philadelphia Inquirer featured his project, with journalist Natalir Pompilio writing: “Sheriff's documentary, My Sister Hali, is his way of working through his long-buried grief, telling his family's unusual story and sharing a forgotten stepping-stone in sporting history.”
