The Other Dream Team
While the 1992 U.S. Men's Basketball Dream Team got all the glory (Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird on the same bench!), the unsung heroes of the Barcelona Olympics were the Lithuanian men's basketball team. After struggling under Soviet rule, they became symbols of Lithuania's independence movement, earned the endorsement of the Grateful Dead, and rose up against all odds to become the gold medal challengers. This film is their glory.
