RAAC Movie – Air
RAAC’s next movie offering at The Little Washington Theatre will be AIR, a critically acclaimed sports and business drama directed by Ben Affleck that unfurls the thrilling story of how Nike won Michael Jordan’s endorsement of the company’s now famous sneaker. Matt Damon plays the unstoppable force inside Nike who pulls off the long-shot endorsement, which changes the company’s fortunes and its status across America. Michael Jordan is the inspiration at the center of the film, but his part is pure presence. His remarkable mother, brilliantly played by Academy Award winner Viola Davis, holds the audience with her uncompromising determination to see her son’s sentiments honored. Affleck himself plays Nike’s bold, but fretful, CEO, and gorgeous basketball footage is woven in strategically. Anyone interested in sports, business, and families— along with possible and impossible dreams—will love this film. Critics also loved this movie–Golden Globe nominee for Best Actor (Matt Damon) and Best Motion Picture. Free Admission. Donations welcome to offset RAAC’s production costs.
