They didn´t just make shots. They made history.
The game´s the same but the rules are different. White teams can compete for the high school basketball championship in 1965 Louisiana. Black teams can only stay home and wonder what if?
Idealistic priest Joseph Verrett (Homicide: Life On The Street Emmy winner Andre Braugher) and the black prep-school squad he coaches challenge the social order in this thrilling story of the era-changing game that matched Verrett´s talented players against a championship all-white prep team. Veteran actor hard Sylvester wrote the script from the heart and from experience: he played on the Verrett´s team, and the film´s Travis Porter (Sean Squire) is based on him. NBA superstar Earvin "Magic" Johnson is an executive producer and Hoop Dreams filmmaker Steve James directs. Rip Torn, Ruby Dee, Bill Nunn and Daniel Hugh Kelly also star.
