Former Harlem Globetrotters, current and former NBA players, and celebrity fans tell the story of the pioneering basketball team that helped open the world's eyes to the accomplishments of African-American athletes and has been spreading a message of peace and tolerance around the world since the end of World War II. Documentary footage recalls two pivotal games: the Globetrotters' upset of the world champion Minneapolis Lakers in 1948, which paved the way for the integration of the NBA, and the team's historic trip to Berlin in 1951, where more than 75,000 fans witnessed the return of Olympic champion Jesse Owens to the stadium where he'd been shunned by Adolf Hitler 15 years earlier. Chuck D narrates.
