Description:

Set in the turbulent 1940s during the Japanese occupation, the historical sports drama Basketball tells an inspiring story of youth, hope, and resilience. Amidst the colonial oppression, a group of young people find solace, love, harmony, and victory through the game of basketball, using it as their guiding light in dark times. The narrative centers on Kang San, a young man who overcomes extreme poverty in his small village to achieve remarkable success on the court. His journey of determination takes him all the way to the historic 1948 Olympic team, representing Korea as a unified nation for the first and last time before the peninsula is tragically divided into North and South.
