Raw and unflinching examination of the courageous life of basketball star and social justice activist Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf.

His decision not to stand for the national anthem, however, turned him from prodigy to pariah. Told candidly by Abdul-Rauf himself more than 20 years later it’s the remarkable story of one man who kept the faith and paved the way for a social justice movement.
