Three young basketball players in Brooklyn, Vienna, and Ghana are dazzled not only by hoop dreams but also by dreams of endorsement deals and sneaker lines. As they hustle to balance their dreams with reality, this documentary also trains its lens on the corporations that capitalize on the goals of so many young men of color around the world.
