We Could Be King, a documentary film that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April, 2014A?, examines the negative effects of drastic cuts in public funding for sports in troubled  high schools and neighborhoods.  

Slashing budgets and still facing shortfalls, Philadelphia did the unthinkable. It shuttered Germantown High School and sent its students to archrival Martin Luther King, leaving a first-time head coach and a new principal to join together in a fight to unite bitter adversaries. An intimate and unflinching snapshot of urban America's education crisis, We Could Be King is a celebration of the power of sports to bring young people, neighborhoods and a city together.

The film's editor David Lieberman will be present at this private invitation-only screening which will take place at The Jaffa Arab-Hebrew Theater, from 5-7pm. You and your guest are invited to an after-party with latkes at the home of Ricki Lieberman.
