Moving documentary explores link between basketball and Lithuanian pride
It is not easy to describe in order to put into context the significance of just one sporting moment on the nascent nation, how it could grip the country and shape its future and define much of what it really has become.
Marius Markevicius, the American-born Lithuanian who is the director and co-producer from the widely acclaimed documentary The Other Dream Team, thinks for a long time before coming up with an apt analogy for the bronze-medal men's basketball game in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
They know what it really means to his friends,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]woolrich deutschland women online shop Woolrich Parka Günstig outlet[/b][/url], family and countrymen, he understands how Lithuania's overtime victory over Russia is viewed by his compatriots. He struggles a little to put in some kind of North American context.
"This story is like Miracle on Ice," he finally says,[url=http://peutereyjacketsuppliers.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey Jacket uk[/b][/url], recalling the stunning victory for the United States over Russia in the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics.
"If," he adds, "it was in 1776 and George Washington was in the stands after which all America became obsessed with hockey.
"In this example, it's genuine, the impact."
The film, not released in theatres in Canada but on DVD through its website, traces the rise of the nation,[url=http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers vest outlet[/b][/url], and also the sport,[url=http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/[/b][/url], from the days of occupation by the former Soviet Union until that dramatic bronze-medal game.
Three of the central characters - Arvydas Sabonis, Sarunas Marciulionis and Valdemaras Chomicius - were starters on the Ussr team that won the 1988 Seoul Olympics gold medal, and also to hear the storyline of the rise of Lithuania is touching and dramatic.
Theirs were stories of constant shadowing by KGB agents when they travelled the planet, of turning out to be black marketers such things as aspirin, cameras and clothes they might restore to Lithuania and of needing to smile contentedly at being "Russian" once they weren't.
"My goal was to reach America and Canada," said Markevicius. "Growing as a Lithuanian in America, all my life was explaining my name and just how weird it's and where you're from,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]woolrich deutschland[/b][/url], and it's this little country that individuals hadn't heard of, and if they've heard about Lithuania, a lot of times it is because of basketball. But most people still - particularly in america, we're geographically inept - they do not know anything about it,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Parka women[/b][/url], so I really wanted to tell this story to Americans, teach the civilized world relating to this story."
It's a story that Raptors rookie centre Jonas Valanciunas knows well. He was created the year Lithuania won the bronze medal and it has lived the history since. He's seen first-hand the impact men like Sabonis and Marciulionis have had in the homeland.
"They're heroes," said the director. "It's hard to describe. Arvydas Sabonis and Marciulionis would be the two most well-known . . . I love to say it's almost like Michael Jordan if we did not have any other sports in the United States. It's hard to even describe it.
Or in Brazil, it's Pele if they did not have surfing and Carnival. In Lithuania, as a small country, they don't have a lot and they have this and it is so important to them. So yes, they're heroes."
It goes without saying not lost about the 20-year-old Raptors centre, who represents the most recent chronilogical age of Lithuanian basketball.
"Everybody should know what happened in Lithuania in those days," Valanciunas said. "Maybe this film will help to to fight for independence in all other countries.
"I have pride each time to play for Lithuania,[url=http://parajumersoutletdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]http://parajumersoutletdeutschland.albirank.net/[/b][/url]; Personally i think that Lithuania is something within my heart."
And he got the opportunity thanks in large part to the men that helped a country emerge,[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakers.webmium.com/][b]discount 2013 giuseppe zanotti sneakers on sale[/b][/url].
The ultimate act of the 90-minute film deals with Valanciunas's draft night in 2011. His mother, Danute, understands where her son is in the good reputation for her country,[url=http://duveticadoudoune.halod.com/][b]Doudoune Duvetica[/b][/url], how he arrived and just how your way truly began with this Olympic game.
"Some twists ever are really big and Lithuania got swept up in those twists," she believed to close the documentary. "For basketball players as well as for every young person, the walls have opened to select your own path. These were born and raised in another spirit,[url=http://wheretobuyrogerviviershoes.webmium.com/][b]http://wheretobuyrogerviviershoes.webmium.com/[/b][/url], the independence spirit. They are the children of independence. That's the truth."
