Six years ago, after his son was born, the Jamaica-born, US filmmaker Jason Foster began having thoughts about what it means to be a father to a son. Foster’s own late father was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers around 1960, but he broke his leg after falling from a horse, ending his career before it began. Blending home movies and original footage shot in the US with archival audio recorded in Jamaica, this documentary explores the filmmaker’s relationship with his children, his family, and his love of basketball.
