Watch The Other Dream Team Movie Online No Survey Led by the unique skills of Sarunas Marciulionis and Arvydas Sabonis, the 1992 Lithuanian Olympic basketball team helped their country break free from the shackles of Communism. After leading the USSR to a gold medal (and victory over the U.S.A.) at the '88 Seoul Olympics, Marciulionis and Sabonis were poster boys for the Soviet sports machine. Four year later, after the fall of the Soviet Union, they emerged as symbols of democracy, willing newly-independent Lithuania to the medal stand in Barcelona. The film documents the Lithuanians' experiences behind the Iron Curtain, where elite athletes were subjected to the vagaries of Communist rule. -- (C) Official Site Release Date The Other Dream Team Sep 28, 2012 Limited

Review For The Other Dream Team
You don't have to give a hoot about basketball to enjoy this movie. This is a movie about identifying with, admiring and responding to achievement in any form. Tom Long-Detroit News It is a dream fulfilled. Dave Hoekstra-Chicago Sun-Times Here's a twist on the plucky underdog sports movie. The Other Dream Team adds rock 'n' roll and eastern European history to the rah-rah mix. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Adding detailed historical context, the quirky feel-good story becomes a tragedy and a lesson. And that makes the victories resonate even more. Peter Hartlaub-San Francisco Chronicle Clearly, there's a story here. The documentary "The Other Dream Team" tells it in a smart, lively, if somewhat hectic fashion. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe An inspirational if overly talkative new documentary that lives at the intersection of nationalism and sport. Chris Vognar-Dallas Morning News ...a deeply interesting, if conventionally structured and unflashy, documentary ... about the reassertion of national identity after generations of foreign oppression and the role of sport in nation building. Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette The Other Dream Team is both an exceptional and exceptionally inspiring film. Jean Lowerison-ReviewExpress.com In an era when so much of the focus in sports is on the glam and the glitz, it's nice to be reminded that it can still be about heart and soul, too. Cary Darling-Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com The Other Dream Team becomes less a simple paean to the triumph of the human spirit and more an admission of life's complexity and messiness. Matt Prigge-Philadelphia Weekly The Other Dream Team wasn't the 1992 Lithuanian Basketball movie that I necessarily wanted, but it could absolutely be the 1992 Lithuanian Basketball movie that you want, assuming you want such a thing. Dan Fienberg-HitFix Shows sports can have other goals besides winning. Chris Foran-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "The Other Dream Team" is a saga of hope, courage and overcoming adversity and how a sport and its players helped a nation rekindle its voice and place on the world stage. Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) If you root for documentaries with heart, "The Other Dream Team" is a slam dunk. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch The lack of focus makes for a lackluster Documentary. Austin Kennedy-Sin Magazine This true-life sports story has a little of the same magic "Hoosiers" has. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press ...a story that should be heard and remembered, because it reminds you that sometimes a sporting event carries meaning far outside the confines of the sport itself. Sarah Boslaugh-PopMatters An exceptional inspirational sports movie, precisely because the stakes were so high. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion Quite often the film veers away from their stories to become a flag-waving work of Lithuanian nationalism. Gerald Peary-Boston Phoenix
