High Roller: The Bob Perry Story

This documentary explores the life of Bob Perry, who became one of the best bowlers in the United States by the age of 12. Just before a major competition at the World’s Fair in 1964, Perry faced a life-altering incident when he was struck in the face by a mallet, resulting in permanent vision loss in his left eye. Despite this setback, he trained himself to bowl with one eye and achieved an impressive 220 average by the age of 18, a remarkable feat in the 1970s.

The film takes viewers through Perry's tumultuous career, touching on the highs and lows he experienced, including his encounters with the Mafia and struggles with drug addiction. It offers an in-depth look at the life of one of bowling's finest athletes and showcases the resilience and dedication required to excel in the sport despite significant obstacles.
