This is a fantastic documentary. It was exciting to watch these players develop a real sense of aggressive competition, a concept not normally associated with (female) Navajo culture. You get to see each Lady Chieftian talk about how they felt about themselves as a person and as a basketball player. So often media attention is placed on boys high school sports, it is refreshing to see a film about girls experiences.
The discussion of the evolution that they went through with their new coach was very insightful. It is rare to hear and see about the meshing of two such diverse minorities. They discovered they had a lot more in common than they would have thought so in the beginning of their coach/player relationship. It was also great to hear about the culture shock that Coach Richardson went through.
By the end, you are so proud of how everyone worked together, and achieved their goals.
