The Air Up There, Jimmy Dolan is a college basketball coach who wants a big promotion. To get it, he needs to make a dramatic find. He ends up deep in Africa, hoping to recruit Saleh, a huge basketball prodigy Jimmy glimpsed in a home movie.

Way up
The Air Up There, As someone who’s never really been into sports, “The Air Up There” hardly seems like the sort of movie that I would like, but I did. When basketball talent scout Jimmy Dolan (Kevin Bacon) goes to Kenya to recruit a new player, he ends up finding Saleh, a chief’s son whose skills exceed what anyone could have imagined. But before he moves to the states, there are some things that both sides are going to have to deal with.
This movie is interesting mainly for two reasons: it’s good to see a sports movie that’s not all about machismo, and a movie that looks at Kenyan culture (not one that we usually get to see). The movie isn’t really any kind of masterpiece, but it never pretends to be one. There are some scenes that look like they were thrown in for comic relief (namely the goat milk). Pretty interesting.
