REVIEW OF TRUE FANS
in the summer of '97, dan austin, his brother and their friend
had nothing to do, no jobs, no money
- road trip!
the guys had decided to ride their bikes
across country to bring their basketball
and see if they could have it put on display
at the national basketball hall of fame
no, they were not silly young boys, these were grown-ups!
sounded like the trip of a lifetime so they set off on an
epic 100 day journey through the soul of america
through the burning deserts and over the rockies
along the way, they had the heroes, the everyday people that
they ran across and that helped them along, sign the ball
- there's much more to the story and lots of fun too
but you'll have to see the film for yourself
and see the famous signed basketball at the hall, or here
the trip was really about the camaraderie they shared
and the people, what they called, the true fans
that they met along their way
in the Q&A session after the screening, austin explained
that the real deal was seeing the heart and the compassion
of strangers... what a trip.
