Rise
Channel: ESPN (DStv 218 / StarSat 248)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: TV Movie, Sport
Directed by Akin Omotoso, Rise is based on the true-life story of the family that produced the first trio of brothers to become NBA champions in the history of the league - Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and former Los Angeles Laker Kostas Antetokounmpo.
In this film we witness how one family's vision and determination lifted them out of obscurity to launch the career of two-time MVP Giannis and his brothers, Thanasis and Kostas.
Last season, Giannis and Thanasis helped bring the Bucks their first NBA championship ring in 50 years, while Kostas played for the previous season champs, the Lakers.
After immigrating to Greece from Nigeria, Vera and Charles struggled to survive and provide for their five children, while living under the daily threat of deportation.
With their oldest son still in Nigeria with relatives, the couple were desperate to obtain Greek citizenship but found themselves undermined by a system that blocked them at every turn.
When they weren't selling items to tourists on the streets of Athens with the rest of the family, the brothers would play basketball with a local youth team.
Latecomers to the sport, they discovered their abilities on the basketball court and worked hard to become world-class athletes.
With the help of an agent, Giannis entered the NBA Draft in 2013 in a long-shot prospect that would change not only his life but the lives of his entire family.
