El equipo redentor

A documentary shot with pride, class & respect to it's source material.

"The Redeem Team" is a prideful inspirational film, that tells the story of the dominant rise of the USA basketball team on a global scale , the standard of excellence set for years and how it was in many ways neglected and taking for granted.

The failure of victory in 2004 and their difficult road back to greatness at the 2008 Olympic Games.

As an retired athlete, and a basketball fan. I felt educated, sadness, and tremendous emotion while watching this film. This is a document shot with class, respect, and immense quality.

If you love sports, or inspiring true stories, you will enjoy this documentary.

I loved all the old footage that was used in this documentary. It was great to see the authentic "from the vault" film of all the players, coach K, and the Collins family.

It also was very touching how highly regarded Kobe was in this project. He truly was built different, and this documentary goes above and beyond to highlight that about him.

It could have gone a little deeper, done a bit more digging into the storytelling. However, I enjoyed this documentary very much. It got the adrenaline going as a basketball fan to watch all the highlights from 2008! It brought out a lot of emotions for me as a viewer.

7.5 Overall a good documentary although there have been numerous documentaries before. I just wish there was more players interviewed from the redeem team. Kobe was one of if not the main focus of the documentary as he should be. All respect and honor to the late KOBE. Great showing how USA BASKETBALL dominated for many years until not winning the GOLD and then to finding their way back to glory. I felt like it would been better if this was a mini series documentary like the one with JORDAN and the BULLS. What I learned is Kobe was different from the rest and TEAM USA is just unfair with the individuals talents they have.

I'm not going to pretend I know about all the history of all the NBA players so my perception might be off, but I enjoyed this documentary. It shows the intentions, personalities, and most of all humbleness of players when playing for something greater than themselves. In the NBA, many of these players are perceived to be best of the best, which results in development of inflated egos. To watch the journey of them temporarily putting it down for the benefit of others, fosters that belief that we as humans aren't always selfish.

There's a growing tumor of entitlement that been slowly festering in American culture. Watching the journey the team went through to overcome the difficulties is refreshing as well as inspiring.

An amazing documentary that gives perspective not just on how great the USA basketball team was but also about the types of people it takes to be great.

Lebron and Kobe are the definition of being the best athletes of all time and the best people of all time.

These types of people don't come around often and we should feel blessed that we were privileged enough to be able to see their greatness.

To think this was only a part of all the great things they achieved in their lives puts it in perspective how many levels there is to this game that we call life.

Much respect for the gods and RIP to the GREAT Kobe Bryant!
