Description: Focuses on Joanne to explore adolescence, the trying and confusing time when young people begin to redefine their roles with parents, friends, and themselves. Begins with Joanne being a "one of the gang" football player, but concludes open-endedly as she becomes aware of her changing relationship with boys. Stimulates discussion on what it means to be changing and growing up., With the Globetrotters in wheelchairs, it’s about a hilarious nail-biting match, starring the all-time pairing of Curly Neal and Geese Ausbie. Their crackerjack shot-making is stretched to the limit when they take on the Canadian wheelchair champions, the Toronto Spitfires. The film features a youthful Jeff Adams, who, years later, went on to become a six-time world champion paralympian. FOR FURTHER INQUIRIES contact: Arts On Film. http://artsonfilm.com/
