SHE GOT BALLS! (20 min. documentary short) is director Cheryl Hess’ “f-ed love letter to South Philly.” When Top Chef alum Jen Zavala enters her vegan meatball in a neighborhood food contest, what starts off as a simple story about food turns into an exploration of gentrification, xenophobia, and the fear of losing ones culture. Because sometimes a meatball is not just a meatball.
