“In America, a kid drops out of high school every 9 seconds. Imagine if they didn’t.”
Ten9Eight, Shoot for the Moon, the new film about inner-city teens becoming entrepreneurs by Mary Mazzio and 50 Eggs Films, will be shown at Babson on Thursday, December 3, 7:15 p.m., in Knight Auditorium, with Mary Mazzio as guest of honor.

Ten9Eight, which premiered around the country in AMC Theatres on November 13, chronicles the remarkable stories of several inner city teens who learn to become entrepreneurs. What they learn in the process profoundly changes their lives and destinies.
