Description:
This award-winning feature length documentary chronicles the suspenseful story of the Shiprock, New Mexico girl’s high school basketball team’s rise to fame. Made up of a group of young Native American women from the Navajo Reservation, the team was taught how to win by their African American basketball coach from Texas, Jerry Richardson. Filmmaker Rick Derby took 13 years to capture the struggle that the coach and the girls went through in facing their fears and limiting beliefs about playing, winning, racial stereotypes and suppression. A moving, poignant, and utterly engrossing journey of the spirit.
