Canadian Film Screening & Premiere: BENJI @ Bloor Hot Docs Cinema, Toronto, ON - Mon Oct 1st!

All Balls Don't Bounce Presents the second in an ongoing series of documentaries providing a first-hand look at the characters and stories behind the sport, with the Canadian premiere of the upcoming ESPN 30 For 30 Film Benji.

In 1984, 17-year-old Ben Wilson was a symbol of everything promising about Chicago: a sweet-natured youngster from the city's fabled South Side, and America's top high school basketball prospect. Nicknamed "Magic Johnson with a jump shot," Wilson's natural talents and drive assured his best years were yet to come. Then, in November of his senior year, the career of this exceptional youngster was abruptly and tragically cut short. Ben's grim fate sent ripples of horror through the city and the country.

Tickets are $13.00 and can be purchased at the box office the night of the screening or are available in advance here: http://www.ticketbreak.com/event_details/5424
