From Brazilian favelas to dusty Congolese villages, from a neolithic Scottish island and Mayan royal courts to modern English soccer pitches, “Bounce” explores the little-known origins of our favorite sports across the centuries, and traces how a simple invention like the ball has come to stake an unrivaled claim on our passions, our gaming consoles, our money, and our lives. Equal parts science, history and visual essay, “Bounce” removes us from the scandals and commercialism of today's sports world to uncover the true reasons we play ball, helping us reclaim our universal connection to the ball games we love.

andrewbunney This is a high-quality, playful documentary about animals interacting with spheres that bounce. It comprises brilliant footage of all kinds of animals with all kinds of balls and a range of experts offering intelligent, multi-disciplinary analysis.Where did the bounce come from? Why do we play? What do we get from it?Bounce is an important examination of the ball in history and society that should be a big hit and contribute to the betterment of life on Earth.Intriguing and lovely.5 stars out of 5 Andrew Bunney, Let's Go To The Pictures, 3D Radio, Australia
