Preamble: 

Bol Kong is one of Canada's best basketball talents. After escaping war-torn Sudan over a decade ago, Kong came to Canada to start a new life. The 6-foot-7 phenom was introduced to basketball, quickly becoming one of the country's most highly touted prospects. With widespread desire from collegiate powerhouses south of the border, Kong's basketball destiny lay before him. However, his dreams were put on hold not because of grades or injury, but his nationality. This is a story of a young man's struggle to realize his dreams and reach a level of competition he knows he's capable of.
