Synopsis:
SLAYING GOLIATH takes a charged look at 10 days in the life of a boy's fifth grade basketball club from Harlem, New York. The film follows the children's parents – including the filmmakers and their own son, who is on the team – as they travel to the AAU National Championships in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Whole worlds are laid bare with skillful economy, as grown-ups and coaches grapple with the sometimes diverging demands of parenting and winning. The difficulties of raising Black boys, as well as the difficulties of being a real team, come to the fore as the group frays, while tantalizing questions of how filmmakers should document the events of their own lives hovers around GOLIATH's edges.
