We live in a world where success is the only measure of success. The lack of government funding for British basketball is stifling the opportunities for young players, voicing their passions in this new film
UK government funding for sport is based on medal prospects. Basketball, played by 218,000 14-16 year olds every week, was judged to have little chance of future medals and its funding was slashed. Basketball can give hope and focus to those who might otherwise have neither – but its future hangs in the balance.
Starring players from North & East London and featuring poet James Massiah, Underneath the Noise celebrates Britain’s raw talent and gives a voice to young ball players.
