She Ball

Rooted in discourse about race, gentrification, criminal justice and female empowerment, “She Ball” follows the love of the game through the struggles of Avery Watts, a single father who lost his NBA dreams to gang violence. Avery now struggles to keep his family's community center open amidst rising gentrification in the City of Inglewood. He joins forces with an unlikely ally, Shelby Vandergun, a white girl with serious basketball skills. Together they fight against local politicians, gangs and their own stereotypes to save the community and enlists the “baddest” women's streetball league in Inglewood to help save the embattled Inglewood Community Center.
