Harlem Globetrotters: Team That Changed The World (Part 1)

If anyone doubts that the Harlem Globetrotters were incomparable athletes as well as world-class entertainers, this documentary will put them wise. The documentary features interviews with everyone from former Globetrotters and NBA coaches to Henry Kissinger. "The Team That Changed The World" lays out not only the development of the team itself - how original Globetrotters Marques Haynes and Reece "Goose" Tatum turned a sport into a form of vaudeville without sacrificing amazing displays of skill - but also the volatile racial politics of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, when the Globetrotters were at their peak. In only an hour, the documentary argues persuasively that this basketball team, as they toured the world, became a symbol of racial progress and American good will. It's not the same as seeing the Globetrotters live, but fans of these great performers will find this documentary a pleasure.

It's cool to look back at them. My mom would always tell a story about how she met the original guys back when she was in college. She was a reporter for the college news and got to interview them. It went something like this: "I was just ready to start the interview with one of them[sorry forgot which] and he laughed and pointed at my hair. He then turned around and said, "Curly! Look at this hair! Beats yours!""
