Directed by Daina Reid
Set in Melbourne's outer-west suburb of Sunshine, the story follows Jacob Garang, a young, aspiring South Sudanese-Australian basketball player whose dreams of climbing his Biblical namesake's ladder to heaven — the National Basketball Association — hang in the balance when he's drawn into a criminal investigation. Police are hunting down the perpetrator of a violent assault, which has left a young teenage girl in a coma fighting for her life, and a group of young men fighting for their innocence.
