At All Costs

A feature documentary that explores how the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) basketball machine has professionalized youth basketball in America. As the business of youth basketball balloons into a multi-billion dollar industry, the stakes for finding "the next big thing" have never been higher. The film follows blue-chip high-school recruits, their families and their AAU programs as they travel the country playing in marquee tournaments, competing against top-tier athletes, all fighting to make it to the next level.
