Free Throw gently captures the raw determination of eight Compton High School students as they chase not just free throws but the hope of higher education. The film's pacing is steady, allowing you to really soak in the personal stories of each kid. They come from different backgrounds but share that same dream of a better future – it's relatable, you know? The atmosphere is a mix of tension and camaraderie, especially during those competition sequences. The documentary excels in its human element; there's no flashy editing here, just genuine moments that resonate. You get a sense of community and the weight of their aspirations, which makes it a distinctive piece in the documentary realm.
