SLANT 45: The Movie celebrates local champions

With Super Bowl XLV just over a week away, there will soon be more than a few famous athletes and celebrities descending upon North Texas for the big game. On Friday, SLANT 45 will celebrate with some stars of our own – the champions of community service featured in SLANT 45: The Movie.

Veronica, Darius, Will, Madeline, Ariel and their respective teams show that no matter a person’s age or circumstances, he or she has the ability to transform their schools, their neighborhoods and their communities in powerful ways.

Along with more than 44,000 other participants, these youth have changed the face of North Texas for generations to come as a result of their creativity, ingenuity and plain hard work to improve their communities.

Tune in to FOX 4 at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, January 28 to see a live broadcast from the red carpet, and visit slant45.org/themovie to find a free screening at a theater near you.

SLANT 45: The Movie coming soon to a theater near you!


SLANT 45: The Movie is the inspiring story of teams who accepted the SLANT 45 challenge and found creative and innovative ways to transform their communities.  From collecting cans for the food bank and Legos for hospitalized children to starting a graffiti abatement program and producing a talent show for a homeless shelter, these children show that everyone has the power to make a difference.

For locations and showtimes, please visit slant45.org/themovie.  All showings are FREE, but some require a reservation.
