Last year we wrote about former Wild Chicago host Ben Hollis' attempts to raise funds for a DVD compilation of the first two seasons of the groundbreaking WTTW show. Hollis secured the rights to the show and successfully funded a Kickstarter campaign for the project.

That project is now complete with the release of The Golden Age of WILD CHICAGO - The Best of Seasons 1 and 2. Here's the trailer.

Hollis is screening the complete DVD 3 p.m. Nov.17 at the Patio Theater (6008 W. Irving Park Rd.), followed by a Q&A with Hollis and Wild Chicago co-creator John Davies. Tickets are available here.
