Whats the actual point of this film besides pushing immigration to the west?
“Indian born” is not the same as “Indian” So to start off, there’s that. Let’s be accureate when claiming there are no Indian NBA players. India doesn’t have NBA TEAMS, which is why there are no Indian BORN NBA players. The NBA in the country in which there are teams, has players of every creed and color, including Indians.This film serves no purpose, aside from pushing Indian immigration to countries where NBA teams exist.
There is one HUGE problem with this documentary!!!
“One in a Billion” is a documentary now airing through Netflix’s streaming service. However, before you watch it, there is one HUGE problem with the film. While the documentary has captions which you can activate (and you should, as it’s a bit difficult to understand Satnam’s English at times), whenever Satnam and other folks speak in their native Indian language there is no captioning whatsoever!! So, during one lengthy sequence, his father talks and talks…and you have no idea what he’s talking about at all! This does NOT make the film terrible…and you can still watch and enjoy it. But it is frustrating!The film is about a 7’2″ Indian man, Satnam Singh Bhamara, who was spotted as a teen and brought to the States to train and hone his skills. After all, he began playing basketball late and although huge, his skills were pretty weak back then. Through a scholarship, Satnam and eight other Indians were enrolled in the IMG Academy in Florida and ultimately several years later he signed with an agent and the film then centers on whether or not Satnam will be picked in the upcoming NBA draft.
It’s definitely a flawed film due to the captioning issue…and until that is corrected I cannot score the film any higher. Hopefully someone will realize it and correct this.
By the way, this is the second film I’ve recently seen that features IMG…a sports training program that is about 20 minutes from where I live. However, despite many pro basketball, football, tennis and other athletes being graduates of IMG, I had no idea that this place even existed until recently. For folks in Bradenton, Florida, IMG seems to keep a relatively low profile.
