Over the past 10 years one of the most notable street basketball movements in the world, "Ghetto Basket" has bread a new generation of basketball players on their way to the Olympic Games in Tokyo, with a real chance to win Olympic gold.

Currently ranked as one of the world's top 3 teams for 3x3 basketball, team "Riga Ghetto Basket" has won the 2017 European Championships, earned a silver medal in 2018 and is a regular at any FIBA World Cup Tournament finals.

The core players of "Riga Ghetto Basket": Agnis Čavars, Nauris Miezis, Kārlis Pauls Lasmanis and Edgars Krūmiņš today are considered as stars of the 3x3 basketball world, despite the fact that a few years ago each of them was written off as lost potential. "They're back from the dead," says the leader of the "Ghetto Basket" movement Raimonds Elbakjans.

This full feature documentary tells a story about experiences, challenges, team cohesion and ten years of hard work, which has created a platform for a new and promising generation of Olympic athletes.
