1970. aastatel tutvustasid kaks mustanahalist Ameerika korvpallurit Soomele multikultuursust ning nende pojad asusid võitlema võrdsuse eest. Shawn Huff ja Ervin Latimer Jr. on mõlemad mustanahaliste Ameerika korvpallurite pojad, kes kasvasid üles Soomes. Nende isade jaoks oli korvpall väljapääs vaesusest. Rassism, mis vohas nii USAs kui Soomes, äratas neis poliitilisi mõtteid, mille mõlemad nende poegadest omal viisil spordis, kultuuris kui ka poliitikas ellu viisid.

In the 1970s, two Black American basketball players introduced multiculturalism to Finland, and their sons went on to launch a battle for equality. Shawn Huff and Ervin Latimer Jr. are both sons of Black American basketball players and grew up in Finland. For their fathers, basketball has been a way out of poverty. The racism that thrived both in the US and Finland when they were young awakened political thoughts in them. Each of their sons has translated these thoughts into action in sports, culture and politics.
All films of the Sports and Olympic Film Festival SOFF 2024 will be screened with Estonian and English subtitles at the Elektriteater in Tartu (Jakobi 1).
