The Chicago premiere screenings for the documentary film  Lenny Cooke, which Tambay reviewed last month (HERE) are set to take place at  the Gene Siskel Film Center in downtown Chicago from Friday Nov. 39  until Thursday Dec. 5
Co-directed by Ben  and Joshua Safdie and chronicling  the all too common story of too much too  soon, Cooke documents the sad story of Lenny  Cooke who over a decade ago was ranked the number one high school  basketball player in the country and was destined for NBA greatness
However, bad advice, bad timing, youthful arrogance and a  serious lack of discipline resulted in Cooke crashing and burning his career before  it even started.
In addition to the screenings, the directors of the film be present  for the opening Nov. 29th screening along with  producer Adam Shopjorn and executive  director Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls will be present at  another screening date to be announced soon.
