“Many questionable scenes were used, maybe there just wasnu0026#39;t anything good. Itu0026#39;s not an engaging doc at all and is grinding it out just to tell a story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was hoping for something along the lines of Hoop Dreams, but this comes across as stuff just thrown together. Tons of shaky camera work and poor shots which is to be expected, maybe next time they can get it stabilized. Camera work is super close up and in your face which gets annoying after a while.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLoads of scenes which are puzzling and confusing, just not a whole lot of story to go on here.”
