Victoria L. White is an Omaha, Nebraska native, self-taught screenwriter, and documentary filmmaker with a lifelong passion for history and storytelling.
After retiring from the United States Air Force in 2007, White began her filmmaking journey producing documentaries focused on Omaha’s rich African American history, including A Time Remembered, an official selection of the Omaha Film Festival, and Race Riot of 1919 in Omaha: The Lynching of Will Brown, an educational documentary shown in schools and universities around the world.
As a screenwriter, White’s work has earned recognition in multiple screenplay competitions, including the Austin Film Festival.
As a fellow Omahan, White has long admired Terence Crawford’s extraordinary journey—from a young boy overcoming hardship to becoming one of the greatest fighters in boxing history.
In 2014, White personally filmed Crawford’s triumphant return to Omaha after winning his first world championship in Scotland. Footage she captured was later included in HBO’s documentary Terence Crawford: My Fight.
Love Is Pain was written as a tribute to Crawford’s remarkable resilience, discipline, and legacy, inspired by the many interviews and documentaries that have chronicled his extraordinary life story.
