NOW!

Read the Insidehoops.com review:
No matter what plans you may have for this weekend, at least a few
hours will be terrific -- provided you go catch a fantastic, must-see
basketball do***entary that hits select cities tonight.
Through The Fire tells the tale of basketball star Sebastian Telfair as
he spends his high school year playing basketball and deciding whether
to jump straight to the NBA or attend the University of Louisville,
where he'd be coached by the legendary Rick Pitino.
Telfair, the cousin of NBA star Stephon Marbury and brother of overseas
professional player Jamel Thomas, grew up in the Coney Island section
of Brooklyn and like his relatives, went to Lincoln High School.
Because of his talent and family, the media spotlight was on Telfair
ever since he was a little kid, so it was no surprise that his star
****ned bright.
In the phenomenon of poor kids from urban ghettos passing up the
traditional means of upward mobility for the win-it-all/lose-it-all
gamble of professional s****ts, Telfair becomes a focal point of the
debate.
Through The Fire shows us strong personalities yanking Telfair in one
direction or the other. We gain insight about the manufacturing of
Telfair into a likeable, marketable item. We see washed-up players in
the projects who wished they were Marbury or Telfair but failed,
sharing their views. We see extended family and friends doing their
best to hang onto Telfair and be his best friend, uncensored views from
his coach, lip service from a king of the sneaker world, and much more.
And of course, we see awesome game footage of Telfair at his best.
Hard****p and the grim economics of being a poor kid in a tough hool is
a prevailing theme in the film. As is the goal of being rich, buying
cars for loved ones, ruling the world, getting a shoe deal, making the
NBA and living a dream that countless kids around the globe have
dreamed.
What's more im****tant, getting an education or making millions of
dollars before the age of 21? Watching this story unfold is
fascinating.
I've seen almost every basketball movie/do***entary that's come out in
the last 30 years, and Through The Fire is one of the only ones that
kept my attention from start to finish. Every minute interested me.
The film was a Spotlight Selection in the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival,
Winner of Best Do***entary in the 2005 Urbanworld Film Festival, and
Audience Award Winner of Best Do***entary in the 2005 AFI Fest.
Ryan Jones of Slam Magazine recently praised the film: "With incredible
access and insight, Through The Fire illuminates one young star's hoop
dreams and hard-knock realities," said Jones. "Thoroughly compelling
and guaranteed to make you Sebastian Telfair's biggest fan."
I definitely recommend all basketball fans catch Through The Fire. Go
see it tonight or this weekend.
