Paralympic Gold Medalist Tells His Story and Plays HORSE | Home Court Advantage | Independent Lens

Описание: Official website: https://to.pbs.org/IL_2024 | #IndieLensPBS
What happens when a novice basketball player is challenged to a game of HORSE by Brian Bell, three-time Paralympic gold medalist in Wheelchair Basketball? We get the opportunity to learn about his journey as an athlete and see some of his best shots! From the coaches who believed in him, to becoming a mentor to youth himself, Brian reveals sports lessons that double as life lessons.

Inspired by the feature documentary "Home Court," Home Court Advantage features sports leaders sharing their stories while they put our hosts through increasingly difficult challenges.
