‘Rez Ball’ Movie Cast Set By Netflix, Sydney Freeland

Yo! Have you heard about the new movie ‘Rez Ball’? It’s gonna be da bomb! Netflix has just announced the cast and guess what? It’s the first-ever basketball movie to showcase Native Americans as lead characters. How cool is that?

The movie is directed by Sydney Freeland and is based on Michael Powell’s novel titled ‘Canyon Dreams’. It’s about a high school basketball team, with players from various Indigenous communities, who come together to play ‘Rez Ball’. The story follows their journey, struggles and victories on and off the court.

I have always been a fan of movies that reflect the cultural diversity of our world, and this one certainly ticks all the right boxes. Not only does it offer representation to Native Americans, but it also sheds light on their passion for the sport and their unique playing style.

From my experience, Indigenous communities in North America have a deep connection to basketball, so it’s great to see their love for the game portrayed on the big screen. Rez Ball is a term used to describe a style of basketball that originated on Native American reservations - think fast-paced, aggressive and a lot of flashy moves.

In conclusion, ‘Rez Ball’ is an essential watch for all basketball and movie enthusiasts. It’s great to see Netflix offering a platform for stories that highlight cultures and communities that are often neglected in mainstream media. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds on screen!
