“In BILLION-DOLLAR BALL: A Journey Through the Big-Money Culture of College Football, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gilbert M. Gaul offers an incendiary examination of how college football has come to dominate some of our best, most prestigious universities—reframing campus values, distorting academic missions, and transforming athletic departments into astonishingly rich entertainment factories, even as many university presidents look the other way.”
“Festival is a documentary film about the role music festivals play in the lives of our friends, neighbors, coworkers, and families.” This description from the documentary’s indiegogo site sums up director Mike Raspatello’s search to understand why so many people attend these massive events.
