We have needed to put a face to the immigration issues and injustices that have taken place in our country. One thing missing when we hear some of our leaders speak about immigration is compassion. Not only does this story bring love into the picture, but it paints a picture of humanity.

This film was a very inspiring, faith-based story about the love between a basketball team and their coach. We often forget what a connection athletes have with those who coach them, and this is a touching reminder of how sports can help kids grow to understand the importance of teamwork in life.

First, I have to mention how underrated Glenn Plummer is as an actor. I've seen even more recent films of his (this film was released in 2001) and he's always captivating. This role as drug dealer Rick Ross (not the hip hop artist) should have won him more recognition than it did. He truly brought some magic to the screen and to this story based on an infamous criminal. Ross was an OG, and so is Plummer.
