“This is a story about the Sons of Ben,” film director and producer Jeff Bell told CBS Philly. “Philadelphia Union are a part of that, but … this is a great Philadelphia story, so we want to celebrate just Philadelphia, especially the sports fans and everybody who partakes in the passion of the Philadelphia sports scene.”
The local premiere will take place at the Trocadero and tickets can be purchased on the film’s website.
