Medora。小镇印第安纳州。几百个居民。什么都没有发生，只有一个很棒的故事要讲。与各州的小口袋相似，有成千上万的故事正在等待这些故事与主流社会，媒体和人们的思想相去甚远。这些故事很重要，很重要，没有纪录片Medora，小镇美国的生活和经历将被更广泛的观众边缘化和忘记。我们已经与Honey Boo Boo之类的人（一个小镇的故事变成了现实电视现象），这使我们想起了如此多元化的国家的许多有趣的故事。但是，磨练了坚韧，真实的，无曲折的面包师的人，使个人故事变得更加有趣和令人难忘。
像许多在美国小镇,梅多拉是一次a happy community, a thriving metropolis – jobs for everyone, most people being employed in the town’s factory, which of course is now closed. In the documentary one shop owner described Medora today as ‘closed.’ This word fits perfectly, closed off from mainstream, closed off to visitors in the sense that it has nothing to offer, closed off from upward mobility. The people of Medora however, still have hope, and that is what this documentary boils down to. Well, that, and basketball. When you have little else going for you, as there is small surrounding opportunity, you have to hope that things can get better.
Medoraopens with a high-school basketball coach repeatedly yelling at his gormless yet hopeful team The Hornets, that they have scored zero…ZERO points in the match they just played. This is a big deal for any sports team. It pretty much means you don’t have your shit together. You’re fairly crap. After this disappointment-fuelled shout-fest, gloomy music prowls alongside clippings of Medora’s history of low-ranking sporting scores. Medora high school, back in 2011 when the doc was shot had only 72 students – 33 of whom were boys…a slim chance of finding a Wade or Bryant in the mix. Neighboring towns had consolidated their schools increasing the numbers of players to choose from. Another reason for Medora’s failing.
Medora通过日常的日常活动，对梅多拉，篮球和未来的愿望，跟随少数黄蜂。这是令人心动的，想到看到这些青少年一无所有，对美好的未来充满希望。酗酒，毒品，废弃的建筑物，废弃的孩子，高中辍学，破碎的房屋，虐待和康复是梅多拉的常态。每个孩子都以某种方式受到周围环境的影响。
美丽的方式Medora被射击真的引起了同理心。它既不是体育纪录片也不是新闻纪录片。这是两者的完美结合，使其成为我强烈建议的全面故事。您跟随球队完成他们的赛季，与黄蜂队相连，并像您选择的团队一样为他们加油打气，但它比B.Ball大得多。这是关于从小镇到主流，找到自己的声音并找到一个地方的过渡斗争 - 与迫在眉睫的社区临近前景作斗争。
斯塔克风景似乎是梅多拉景观的缩影。一个令人沮丧的地方。A completely memorable shot – a chilling realization of the desolation and opportunity deficiency is when one of the Hornets, Chaz Gowles leans against a wall inscribed with ‘This Is Hell’ graffiti as he declares, ‘most people outside Medora just think it’s a meth head town.’ There are too many things in the documentary that lean towards this being a possibility.
这一代艰难的年轻男孩不会太多不幸，而是将精力和挫败感引入篮球。即使它们不超过平庸。黄蜂就是他们所拥有的；这是他们的主要重点，一种希望的形式，也是麻烦的替代方法。作为一个小组，他们是一群鼓舞人心的一群人，他们的个人方式脆弱和破碎，但彼此相爱，而团队则为他们带来一些期待。他们是一个集体，在如此孤独的环境中并不孤单。Medora提醒人们对美国许多苦苦挣扎的小镇的想法，这些城镇被城市生活和繁荣的大都市所推动，这些城镇提供了他们永远无法与之竞争的生活方式，但居民不会放弃他们的社区。
