Bo Hedges documentary test screens at Lido next week

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A free test screening of Dream Big Fort St. John and Beyond, a documentary focused on local wheelchair basketball legend Bo Hedges, takes place at the Lido Theatre next week. 

Produced by Christine Sutherland of Sutherland Productions, the documentary tells the story of Hedges, from Wonowon, and his journey to becoming a Paralympic gold medalist. 

According to the Sutherland Productions website, the documentary will show how Hedges’ commitment to wheelchair basketball has been supported by his hometown, leading the athlete to become a nationally competitive wheelchair basketball player. 

The film will also show Hedges’ dedication to the community of Fort St. John.

Along with the free test screening, the event will provide an opportunity to meet Hedges, along with “try-it-yourself” experiences, hoop shooting, and prizes. Attendees can also provide feedback on the film should they choose to do so. 

Hedges will be available for a signing of Wheeling in Good Hands, a book written by Sutherland focused on holistic massage for wheelchair users.

The test screening of Dream Big Fort St. John and Beyond begins at 5 p.m. on December 28th at the Lido Theatre.
