Sports film of the week: Once Brothers

Grab some popcorn, turn the lights off and join us for a Sunday night movie.

Released: 2010.

Director: Michael Tolajian

Classification: If you like basketball, sport, politics, history or just a sad tale of lost friendship, this is for you.

The plot: Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac, once close friends playing in a successful Yugoslavian basketball team, find themselves on opposing sides of the conflict when Croatia declared their independence.

A thoughtless moment in victory from Divac caused the friendship to break down. It would never be rekindled.

What the critics said: “Brilliantly exposes the mindless divisions of society that are caused by politics and war. It’s a real sad story but nicely filmed. Well worth watching.” Rotten Tomatoes.
