In a violent city where murder is the norm, basketball is the only truth. Omar McGee gathers testimony from the street in an attempt to make sense of the world he himself struggled against as a child. McGee chronicles the rich legacy of great ball players that have come out of Flint, Michigan, against the gridlock of poverty, drugs and crime that General Motors left behind.

The film highlights the careers of Flint natives Morris Peterson (New Orleans Hornets), Jason Richardson (Phoenix Suns), Mateen Cleaves (Denver Nuggets), Chucky Atkins (Oklahoma City Thunder), as well as Tracy McGrady (Houston Rockets) and Glen Rice (formerly of the Los Angeles Lakers) who have achieved the dream of making it in the pros.

	“A gritty, unflinching account of life on the streets of Flint, as seen through the eyes of one of the few that have made it out. Omar McGee paints a sobering portrait of a world where the basketball net is an altar, and the library is a bomb shelter.” -IFQ Magazine
“Director, Omar McGee speaks to these athletes and real street hustlers while painting the perfect picture of life as a Flintown Kid. This DVD isn’t just a story about basketball; it’s a testament about the everyday struggle that many of our youth face as they grow up trying to make it out of the Hood.” -KC Williams (Founder and President, Hood Illustrated Magazine)
