Description

Filmmakers Andrew Cohn and Davy Rothbart appeared on Andrea Mitchell Reports (guest-hosted by Chris Cillizza) on June 29, 2012 to discuss their film "Medora." Medora, follows the down-but-not-out Medora, Indiana Hornets varsity basketball team over the course of the 2010 - 2011 season, capturing the players' stories both on and off the court. The film is an in-depth, deeply personal look at small-town life, a thrilling, underdog basketball story, and an inspiring tale of a community refusing to give up hope despite the brutal odds stacked against them — we like to think of it as a real-life, modern-day Hoosiers. On a grander scale, it's a film about America, and the thousands of small towns across the country facing the same fight. As one townsperson told us, "Once we lose these small towns, we can't get them back."
