The Encounter
Directed by Angela
Matemotja

A young white
woman gets stuck in an elevator with an older African man. Though the residue of
apartheid remains, does he hold the key to her finding inner peace?
Elevate
Director: Anne Buford
USA,
2011, 81 mins., Hawai‘i premiere
Filmed over four years, Elevate
documents the extraordinary journeys of four particularly tall West African
Muslim teenagers from dilapidated cement courts in Senegal to upscale American
prep schools. Recruited for their physical and academic skills, they accept
basketball scholarships to U.S. schools—and face the challenges of
alienation, American-style basketball, and a new languange and culture rife with
African stereotypes. But with courage, humor, and remarkable resilience, they
pursue their dreams to obtain an education and a shot at the NBA. Official
Selection: SXSW Film Festival.
