THE COOLEST
Sir Sidney Poitier
We honor a legend on this day January 7, 2022, and forever.
We will never experience a man of his magnitude and impact on the world. He shifted societies in every facet of his being.
Sir Sidney touched many lives, on-screen, in person, or just by his words and existence.
The BIFF family extends our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and those he worked closely with.
Sir Sidney, you will forever be remembered.
