From Deep

Brett Kashmere’s experimental documentary From Deep traces the distinct role basketball plays in our sociocultural landscape from the earliest days of the game to the present. The Canadian-born, Pittsburgh-based Kashmere examines the evolution of the game from its indoor New England roots, placing a particular emphasis on its merger with hip-hop in the 1980s and the rise of international stars such as Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
