And now this story has a new twist.

"The Heart of the Game" - It's a documentary about a girl's high school basketball team in Seattle. But it's incredible. It follows 6 years of the team's play and because it involves girls and not men, as sports movies often do, it focuses a lot on the off the court issues (sexual assault, teen pregnancy). "Hoop Dreams" set the standard for basketball documentaries and this one isn't quite as good, but it's about an hour shorter and a hell of a lot more fun.
