Street Stars Game Over by Director Troy Reed is a masterpiece documentary with a blistering urban feel. I read the great book Game Over by Azie Faison, Jr. The honesty of the man can not be down played. His life story was shown in the movie Paid in Full. In the book Game Over Azie shares his feelings about how his story was watered down in the movie.
Street Stars Game Over shows the real story straight from the mouths of people that lived it. I was moved by this one. Hearing Patricia Porter speak about losing two brothers to the streets sends a message to pursue life with dignity and not easy money. This is not a hip hop video or an episode of MTV Cribs for people to flash their wealth. This a documentary with a heavy message if you listen.
The archival footage takes you back to a time in Harlem where players were kings.
