I chose to tell this story because it captures a powerful example of community transformation through sports. My cousin's work as a basketball coach in Manhattan's Lower East Side represents more than just coaching – it's about mentorship, hope, and creating positive change in young lives. This intimate personal connection allows me to explore the ripple effects of grassroots leadership, while the story's scope promises rich potential for expansion into a longer documentary that can fully capture its impact on the neighborhood and its youth.
