10/10

Great documentary for young kids and parents.

Loved this documentary. The way the community helped the James family was inspiring and so was his giving nature, never say die attitude on and off the court. Watching a promising high schooler turning into the GOAT in real time is incredible. Ms Gloria has an incredible spirit as well. Kids can learn a lot from this documentary.
