A short documentary that was filmed in Montreal is playing now at the NBA Summer League Film Festival in Las Vegas. It's called "Montréal-Nord: A Place to Dream." And it features Montreal basketball superstar -- Lu Dort -- as he goes back to his family's neighbourhood in Montreal North: That's Lu Dort, defensive specialist and NBA champ with the The Oklahoma City Thunder. The film was produced by Buckets and Borders, a non-profit organization that works to build community through basketball. We spoke to Riley Sisco - the creative director for Buckets and Borders, and a co-director of "Montreal-Nord: A Place to Dream."
