WORLD PREMIERE - 2019 Miami Film Festival
Documentary Achievement Award
When the dream ends, the hustle begins.
After their glory days with the Miami Hurricanes, a group of ex-football players get one last shot at going pro — only this time, it’s not on the gridiron. It’s on the jai alai court.
At the Magic City Casino, a loophole in Florida law means the house needs a jai alai team to keep its gambling license. So, the former Canes strap on helmets, grab cestas, and try to master a sport that hurls a goatskin ball at 170 mph — and where nobody’s played in decades.
Director Billy Corben turns this improbable comeback story into a funny, fast-paced portrait of reinvention in the Magic City — a place where everyone’s got a hustle, and sometimes, that hustle finds you.
