In the process, while not without its broken spirits, the movie\u00a0casts a light on the sort of resolve and perseverance that have long been part of the American story. Like Nick Brandestini&#8217;s &#8220;Darwin: No Services Ahead,&#8221; co-directors Davy Rothbart and Andrew Cohn&#8217;s film establishes an affecting,\u00a0deeply personal connection via\u00a0a variety of memorably wounded and sympathetic characters &#8212; in this case, teenagers struggling to find a way forward in life in\u00a0an economically crippled rural community whose best days seem in the rearview mirror.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Medora,&#8221; whose executive producers include Steve Buscemi and John Turturro, unfolds in\u00a0the town of the same name in the basketball-crazy state of Indiana. With businesses shuttered and drug use rampant, the burgh&#8217;s once-thriving middle class has dried up, leaving a population of around 500. Most of Indiana&#8217;s public high schools have consolidated, but Medora has not, leaving its once-proud boys hoops team to battle much bigger schools. Coming off of an 0-22 season, first-year coach Justin Gilbert &#8212; also a police officer &#8212; tries to whip his young charges into shape, and secure a victory that might have grander relevance.<\/p>\n<p>A premiere at this year&#8217;s South by Southwest Film Festival, &#8220;Medora&#8221; connects in large measure because of the guileless nature of both its characters and construction. Amongst the young players, there&#8217;s center Rusty Rogers, whose alcoholic mother is in rehab, forcing him to live with a friend; lanky power forward Logan Farmer, considering a future with the military; Dylan McSorley, who receives a Facebook friend request from the father he&#8217;s never met; and beefy Robby Armstrong, whose parents tell a technical school recruiter that he&#8217;s &#8220;not college material.&#8221; One&#8217;s heart goes out to these kids and others at various points, yet the film isn&#8217;t showy or plaintive with its emotions. It doesn&#8217;t come across as an entreaty. It merely shows these kids&#8217; lives, and lends a microphone to their natural voices, presenting their doubts and struggles\u00a0in compressed chronological fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Rothbart and Cohn leave a bit of meat on the bone: Gilbert would seem to be the perfect complementary swing figure through which to examine the city&#8217;s escalating crime and poverty, and while the filmmakers show him on the job on multiple occasions, they don&#8217;t dig deeply down into a lot of specifics on this front, perhaps afraid of offending or injuring the pride of their subjects. Still, &#8220;Medora,&#8221; which is in a lot of ways more or less incidentally about basketball, never loses one&#8217;s attention. Its metaphorical imprint is ever-present, if not freighted.\u00a0&#8220;Medora&#8221; is a film about at-risk kids struggling for their own self-betterment, and to make their way in the world.\u00a0Any viewer with a still-beating heart can relate to those feelings, and the memories it elicits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> &#8220;Medora&#8221; opens in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Playhouse 7.
