The Air Up There

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.
