Off the coast of Southeast Alaska lies an island -- remote, largely hidden from the outside world and home to the Tsimshian natives of Alaska's last remaining native reserve: Metlakatla. For more than a century, two sacred traditions have defined Metlakatla: fishing and basketball.

The almost two hour documentary's a real roller coaster bringing you high and very low. While it might mean different things to different people, what everyone who watches the film will share in is the investment you will have in the people of Metlakatla.

Unfortunately, the level of emotional connection Harasimowicz shoots for falls short of hitting the rim. One does not get to know the players well enough to truly invest in their herculean ascent up the championship mountain.
