"Shot in the Dark" is the second feature film in the series, airing February 2018, produced by Los Angeles Media Fund and executive produced by Dwyane Wade and Chance the Rapper. Set against their hometown of Chicago, the film follows Orr Academy's high school basketball team and its stars Tyquone Greer and Marquise Pryor as they aspire for greatness under inspirational head coach, Lou Adams, while facing systemic injustices that threaten to claim their future.
"Basketball empowered me to overcome the challenges of growing up on the south side of Chicago," says Wade. "The odds were stacked against me, and the game changed the course of my life. It's important to share these true stories of triumph to inspire the next generation to achieve their dreams when faced with life's obstacles."
"Shot in the Dark is an authentic and realistic look at high school sports in Chicago and what it means for our youth," adds Chance. "It's not really a game for some of us."
This is the school my brother took Stefan Beard out of in Chicago. Lou Adams and my brother are good friends. Tyquone Greer is a great kid. Marquise was a great player but couldn't escape the city.
Comes out in February.
