Game On: Hoops and Dreams in Rural China

This is the untold and suprising story of how American basketball came to rural China almost a century ago, and is now deeply rooted in this rural culture. Basketball has been embraced by China’s Miao people and other traditional cultures, becoming an integral part of daily life and community connection throughout China’s mountainous rural heartland. And every year, there is a remarkable basketball tournament attended by 20,000 local people. It’s the Super Bowl of Rural China – and a cultural and athletic spectacle unlike anything you’ve seen before. We follow three teams of men and women as they pursue their dreams to become basketball champions and bring glory to their villages.
