Medicine Ball

Join PBS for an engaging viewing of the documentary Medicine Ball followed by a dynamic facilitated discussion with a staff member. This course is structured like a video book club that is intended to bring people together for lively interaction and discussion. A light snack will be provided.

Medicine Ball follows Native college athletes, Lexus Redthunder and Leroy Staples Fairbanks IV, as they navigate college life and basketball at the University of Minnesota Morris located on the site of a former Native boarding school. Their journey reveals how basketball became a powerful symbol of resilience, hope, and cultural pride in Native communities.
