As documentary producer, Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns wants to continue to 'use my platform'

Over the summer, Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns added a new line to his résumé — film producer.

But the project wasn't a multimillion-dollar blockbuster or a lighthearted comedy. Instead, the Timberwolves center lent his time and financial resources to a short documentary film, "Forgiving Johnny," which examines the ways technology can help those with developmental disabilities who are trapped in the criminal justice system when they might have a recourse out of it.

Towns became a producer on the film, which is directed by Academy Award-winner Ben Proudfoot, in connection with Publicis Sapient, a digital business transformation company.
