Going Big

About This Movie

Going Big dives into the life of Sam Bowie, a figure often overshadowed by the legendary Michael Jordan. It's a thoughtful documentary that captures the ups and downs of Bowie's basketball journey, exploring the weight of expectations and the toll of injuries. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments of both triumph and despair to resonate. There's a unique warmth in how it portrays his transition into horse ownership—it's not just a career shift but a reclamation of joy. The film has a raw, unfiltered feel, bolstered by genuine interviews that peel back the layers of a man often defined by others' narratives. It’s a compelling blend of sports history and personal story, quite distinct in how it handles themes of resilience and identity.
