The subject of modern Native American life is largely untapped, and any number of interesting films might have been made about it, especially now that casinos have brought new revenue and competing ideologies to some reservations. It is a shame that the producers instead chose to make a film concluding with the wisdom, “The basketball is round, like Mother Earth.”
From Ginia Bellafante in a The New York Times review of the Showtime movie Edge of America. The film is about an African-American coach and an American Indian girls high school basketball team.
