Medore: Basketball in a Poor Town
In this clip from the Independent Lens documentary Medora, we watch Chaz Cowles, one of the students featured in the film, bike around his economically devastated town and tell us about how hard-hit Medora has been in recent years. "Other schools don't expect nothing from us," he says. "Medora's been in the gutter."
