Chi-Town follows a young man named Keifer Sykes on his meteoric rise from Marshall High School on Chicago′s West Side to his improbable shot at the NBA. This exhilarating multi-year journey on the explosive point guard′s ascent is punctuated by personal loss, debilitating injury, and tragic violence. Chi-Town is a very impressive human story about persistence and the strength of will of a young man who was born and raised in a neighborhood where the terror of gang warfare is part of everyday life. It is the kind of documentary that can set a good example for young people who fear failure, or who struggle to pursue their dreams. This is an intimate, raw, surprising and unique behind-the-scenes look at a true champion—and what it really takes to make it. Chi-Town made its world premiere at this year’s SXSW and was nominated for the Grand Jury Award.
