Streetball, Chinatown Style

Documentary of the Week | May 15, 2015

The documentary 9-MAN uncovers a gritty, chaotic urban tournament played by Chinese-Americans in the heart of Chinatowns across the USA and Canada. Largely undiscovered by the mainstream, the game is a community treasure traditionally played in parking lots and back alleys by men looking for an escape from social segregation and discrimination.
