From the Navajo Nation, lies a story of resiliency of the Navajo people and the hopes & dreams of a team, a tribe, and a nation.
Season 1 of the series was Emmy Nominated for 'Outstanding Serialized Documentary Series' and season 2 picks up where we left off as the Wildcats set lofty goals to win the state championship. In a culture known for its sacred traditions, the sport of basketball is a religion with the Chinle Wildcats serving as the Navajo's modern-day warriors.
For these teenagers, this sport and their state-of-the-art arena serve as the ultimate escape in a land where running water and electricity are considered luxuries, median household income is less than $20,000 and alcoholism and drugs trouble the Navajo people.
