Local Documentary Rocks!
"Heart of the Game"
This film is great on several levels. First off, it's NOT a chick flick (not that there's anything wrong with that!!). It's a great documentary about perseverance and fighting to succeed. These girls are fantastic athletes, and their coach is inspirational and really cool.
It's about the Seattle Roosevelt High School girls basketball team, fighting off lots of adversity and going to the state finals. One of the girls drops out of school, has a baby, and has what looks to be a pretty bleak future. Then she rallies back the next year, comes back to school, and fights a legal battle to be allowed to play basketball again as a fifth year senior.
Any of you who know my taste in films, might think I wouldn't like this film, but you'd be wrong! I LOVED this film. If I had a teenage daughter, I'd probably be putting up a hoop outside the garage right now!! And I really don't even like basketball, but I loved this film. See it before it's gone!!
