Hero of the Day

In this gritty, documentary-style indie drama, a filmmaker (Paul Dietz) is thrilled when his sports hero (Mo Anouti), a down-and-out football player, agrees to become the subject of his film. While the athlete offers self-deprecating humor about the banality of his life, it soon becomes clear that he is going to a very dark place...with personal and financial struggles pushing him─and everyone close to him─over the edge. With Lisa Cullen, Julien Skye. 95 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English.
