Rez Ball is a 2024 Netflix film that follows the story of a high school basketball team from the Navajo Nation. The movie centers on the Chuska Warriors, a team facing a tough season after losing their star player. The narrative explores how the team, through determination, grit, and the leadership of Jimmy Holiday, fights to overcome these challenges as they aim for a state championship. Directed by Sydney Freeland, the film authentically portrays the unique culture of Rez Ball, a fast-paced, unstructured style of basketball deeply rooted in Indigenous communities, while also addressing broader themes of community pride and identity. What makes Rez Ball stand out is its focus on showcasing Indigenous voices and experiences, both in front of and behind the camera. The film is based on the book Canyon Dreams, and with producers like LeBron James, it aims to highlight how sports play a significant role in bringing communities together.
