Full Frame is a great documentary festival in Durham each spring – if you haven’t been and like docs, make it a point to go next year.  But, even if you weren’t there, you can catch one of the films I saw at the festival last week.

No Crossover:  The Trial of Allen Iverson airs tomorrow and Thursday on ESPN in the “30 for 30” series about sports and sports figures.  Actually, though, this film is about much more than a great basketball player.  This is a story about sports, race, families, culture, and a divided community.

Filmmaker Steve James grew up in the same region of Virginia as Iverson (although earlier), and his film weaves a complicated story imbued with personal perspective that is crafted into a seamless whole.

I don’t know much about sports, but I know a thing or two about films and recommend this one.  (For telecast times, check http://30for30.espn.com/schedule.html.)
