If you loved Band of the Hand, try The Air Up There

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Paul Michael Glaser. If that's the register that drew you to Band of the Hand, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Air Up There is

A coach’s desperate scramble for a promotion lands him in the middle of an African village where basketball is life’s only bright spot. What begins as a talent hunt spirals into a clash with local priorities and corporate muscle. The net result is a movie that brought inner-city plays to the savanna and forgot to ask the locals for tips.
