The
annual Gush Katif basketball tournament was the highlight
of the summer for all the youth of Gush Katif, who waited
all year to play and cheer on their teams to bring home
the tournament trophy - a true example of the community
spirit that existed throughout Gush Katif.
The movie is about the determination,
faith and struggle of the Netzer Hazani community basketball
team to win the 2005 basketball tournament during the time
that they were also struggling against the Israeli government
plans to uproot them from their homes.
The
2005 tournament should have been like every other, but it
wasn't, because this time the Israeli government was in
the midst of closing off their communities to the rest of
Israel in preparation to uproot them and their families
from their homes.
However,
even with this surreal reality around them, the tournament
went on and brought out the best of them!
