In 1951, an unknown squash player from the newly formed country of Pakistan stunned the squash world when he won the British Open and changed the sport forever.

KEEP EYE ON BALL: THE HASHIM KHAN STORY traces the extraordinary life of Pakistan's first national hero, the father of modern squash and a proud Pashtun. The film is more than the remarkable story of this squash legend. It goes beyond the four walls of the squash court, tracing Hashim's story from a turbulent moment in the history of three nations - England, India and Pakistan - to his life as a Muslim in post-9/11 America.
