Ten Times Better Film Screening

Ten Times Better is a short documentary about George Lee, an 89-year-old blackjack dealer who still works five days a week. A child dance prodigy who grew up poor in Shanghai. A refugee fleeing war. And as a teenager in New York, George was selected by George Balanchine to dance in his staging of The Nutcracker exactly 70 years ago.
