2012 HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH FILM FESTIVAL
Salaam Dunk
By David Fine
Director in person
Basketball is much more than a game in this high-energy documentary about an Iraqi women's team. For the young players, most of whom had never been allowed to play any sport, it is a blissful release from the realities of a war-torn nation. They come from all ethnicities and sects, Arab, Kurd, Christian, Sunni, Shiite, but the joy they discover in playing and the deep love they come to feel for the young American man who coaches them reveals an Iraq we do not see on the news. (2011, 82 min, digital)
