RAISE THE BAR

Director:
Gudjon Ragnarsson

In 2015 a basketball team for girls was founded in Iceland. The coach was unusual and kept raising the bar. The girls were coached like leaders outside the court and like professional athletes on the court. Early on they set the standard high, to always compete against the best and they became victorious in girl and boys tournaments. This is the story of 8-13 year old girls who wanted to change the basketball culture in Iceland.
