About this product

Product Information

One need not have any interest in basketball to be moved by Ward Serrill's incredibly moving, hypnotically riveting documentary. A HOOP DREAMS-style story transposed onto females in middle-class Seattle, THE HEART OF THE GAME follows a high school basketball team's trials and tribulations over six years. Though it follows a team, the film is ultimately the story of two unique, courageous, very different individuals--coach Bill Resler and star point guard Darnellia Russell. Resler, who has very little experience as a coach, has given up his career as a University of Washington economics professor to help out the Roosevelt Roughriders and their struggle to win the coveted state championship. Resler proves a brilliant and unorthodox coach, with an almost metaphysical approach to athletic leadership. Along the way there are setbacks of all sorts, not least of which is the race and class barrier between the poor, African-American Darnellia and her paler, richer teammates. With seamless editing, powerful characters and multiple subplots, Serrill's film unfolds like a great epic. And adding to the tale's innate drama is some excellent basketball footage, which should prove compelling even to those without an athletic bone in his or her body. Rousing and complex, THE HEART OF THE GAME is documentary at its most powerful and spirited. Award-winning musician Ludacris narrates.

  • It Was Ok

    It had more adult content than I had expected. I did not expect the life drama of child sexual abuse and teenage pregnancy. I watched with my 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son. It would have been good to know before hand that thoese topics were included. It was good, just more information that expected. I had hoped for a good, high school girls, basketball movie.

  • The Heart of the Game

    This film goes courtside to present a true-life passionate and inspirational documentary of the Roosevelt Roughriders girls' basketball team during six turbulent seasons. Bill Resler, a former tax professor now turned hard-driving unorthodox coach, is spotlighted in his attempts to turn his team around. The star of the team is an inner-city tough girl whose battles off the court threatens her eligibility to play. The rest of the team is full of drive, toughness, and the unabridged desire to make history. This is an exciting film that will grab and retain your interest if you like drama, sports, or just plain old good acting. I rated the film as "good" but it verged upon excellence for me. See it for your self and draw your own conclusions, but one thing is sure...you will remember ...

  • The Heart of the Game

    An little known sports tale about a girls basketball team at a Seattle high school. Intersting look as the story unfolded, interviews were honest and reflective. Predictable sports movie but you will be cheering them to the end. Bought it for middles school class, but becuase of the f+++ and s+++ words won't be able to show to the class. The words are not thrown about but once is enough to eliminate from clas use.
