In the Rust Belt city of Buffalo, NY, frustration is at an all time high after decades of decline and broken promises. Not seeing a path to renewal for their city in the politicians or corporations who have let them down for decades, the beleaguered yet loyal citizens turn to their professional hockey team for relevance, not just for their city, but for themselves.
The Fan Connection is a deeply personal fly-on-the-wall look at the lives of die-hard fans over a hockey season. Ultimately, it is a heart-warming story of what it means to be a fan, identifying with a city, and the power of ordinary citizens to affect change.
The Fan Connection is available to stream through Show&Tell on computer, laptop, tablet, and phone devices at the link emailed after purchasing tickets. Those who wish to watch the film on a TV will need to connect their preferred streaming device listed above to their television using the wired or wireless options available to them (for example an HDMI cable, or Airplay paired with Apple TV).
