Description

NBA player Mike "Stinger" Glenn plays himself in this wonderful film inspired by his real-life basketball camps for the deaf and hard of hearing. In a unique casting, deaf and hearing actors work together and deliver a film which is authentic, charming, competitive, and challenging. Spirit of Love is a diverse coming of age story. A group of misfit teens arrive at the 33rd annual basketball camp, which is the first year girls will attend the camp. Some come with hoop dreams, while others are trying to survive tumultuous teenage angst. Alexi arrives angry and at odds with his Dad, Coach Phil, while Ford wants everyone to know he is more than deaf, and Maddie thinks everyone sees her as a freak. Not only do they learn life lessons through the game of basketball, but they also soon learn what it means to soar like Eagles, win or lose. Spirit of Love will motivate, encourage, uplift, and inspire all audiences and leave you cheering.
