Have you been wondering when the documentary, ‘More than a Game’ about Lebron James’ high school days, is going to finally be released? Yeah, no doubt, you and every other basketball fan alive. Word is that the film opens theatrically in LA, NYC, and Cleveland on October 2, 2009 followed by other cities at later dates shortly thereafter.
But if you just can’t wait that long and live in the DC/MD/VA area, then it’s your lucky day. SILVERDOCS Documentary Film Festival, which is taking place in Silver Spring, MD on June 15 – 22, 2009 will be showcasing the documentary as their feature sports film. Check out the SilverDocs website for show times and ticket information. Here is what the festival is saying about the film:
A remarkable coming-of-age story about friendship and loyalty in the face of great adversity, Kristopher Belman’s MORE THAN A GAME follows the incredible rise (and occasional fall) of five talented young basketball players from Akron, Ohio. Led by future NBA superstar *LeBron James* and coached by the charismatic yet initially inexperienced Dru Joyce III, whose son is on the team, the “Fab Five”’s improbable seven-year journey leads them from a decrepit inner-city gym to the doorstep of a national high school championship.
