La victoire sans précédent des Raptors de Toronto au championnat de la NBA et le nombre record de joueurs canadiens choisis au repêchage ont ravivé les rêves de gloire que suscite le basketball dans la Ville Reine. Dans ce long métrage documentaire, le réalisateur Ryan Sidhoo braque son objectif sur trois étoiles montantes — Elijah Fisher, Keone Davis et Cordell Veira, respectivement âgés de 12, 15 et 18 ans — alors qu’ils tentent de se frayer un chemin au cœur de l’imposante mécanique qu’est aujourd’hui le basketball junior.

Are there any other larger societal issues you see reflected in the concept of the “basketball factory” or the series as a whole? Explain your answers. What overarching themes do you see connecting the five different people spotlighted in this series? What similarities do their stories share, and how do they differ?
