The story of diminutive Portland Trailblazers point guard Sebastian
Telfair’s journey to the National Basketball Association straight from
the hyped high school courts of Coney Island, Jonathan Hock’s Through the Fire
is a documentary short on authorial insightfulness but long on subject
matter fascination. The result is a movie that will engage if not enthrall most
college basketball enthusiasts, but leave others feeling only the
glancing warmth of Telfair’s pleasant if somewhat restrained
personality. For the full DVD review, from IGN, click here.
