"Kicking It" Gets Scooped Up
There's a lot of TV networks who make the pilgrimage to Park City every year looking to buy up films - you know, serious networks like HBO, Showtime, Discovery Channel, PBS.
But ESPN??
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the sports cable network purchased the domestic TV and international theatrical rights to the Sundance doc, "Kicking It."
The documentary is about the Homeless World Cup, an event to raise awareness about world homelessness that produces a league of soccer teams comprised of players from impoverished nations.
The article also states that ESPN will host charity events tied to the film as well.
