Hoops Africa: UNC filmmaker's documentary inspires children through basketball

Tue Jan 8, 2019
Basketball is a growing sport in Africa, and it's having a major impact on communities there. UNC grad Taylor Sharp caught it all on film. While he was in Africa, Sharp decided to combine his love of basketball and his heart for children. The NBA already had started its own outreach program, and it inspired Sharp to help create the documentary "Hoops Africa: Ubuntu Matters." (WRAL.com)
