Shot in the Dark
Chicago harbors many scars for Orr Academy’s basketball team. There’s the abandoned house where Tyquone’s friends were murdered, the corner where Coach Lou was shot, and the alley where Marquise was arrested for gun possession. Tyquone seeks refuge between the lines of the basketball court. With Coach Lou as his guide, their eyes are set on a championship. But Tyquone wants more, and grapples with dreams bigger than Chicago can offer.

“Fuck ball,” coach Louis Adams tells his team at the start of Dustin Nakao Haider’s powerful documentary 'Shot in the Dark.' “We’re not talking about basketball.” Rightly so: One of his teen players has just been shot at a party days before a big game.
