Allen Iverson has executive-produced the documentary Bad Things Happen In Philadelphia. Kyra Knox is the director of the feature that looks at gun violence in the city from the perspective of young people and community members. The film’s title is a response to Donald Trump’s quote, “Bad Things Happen In Philadelphia. Bad Things” from the first 2020 Presidential debate. Knox wanted to show how Philadelphia’s people encourage their communities through grassroots work, challenging the stereotype of being criminals and victims. Garry Mills who mentors young people through his non-profit Shoot Basketballs NOT People, says, “Less Excuses. More Adjustments. This film is a reflection of the commitment to making dark inner-city communities bright again and displays my GOD-given gift to uplift and be a guardian angel to the youth.” The documentary has been shown at various film festivals and won multiple awards. “Legacy Re-Mix” is from the soundtrack, featuring rapper Da’T.R.U.T.H., Jill Scott, Greg Cox, and Adam Blackstone. Shanachie Records will release the soundtrack on December 1st. Bad Things Happen In Philadelphia will premiere at the Philadelphia Film Festival on October 28th. Fox Soul and Prime Video will have the national broadcast premiere on December 1st.
