If this was a rehab center why would they chain them up and force them to work. I don't understand what this facility was truly used for. The polo story was inspirational giving these kids a chance to play this "wealthy" man sport. It was heartbreaking hearing the ones from their team losing to those streets. The girl of the team was shot dead with her family, and Kareem's brother got into jail. This sport got this boy out off the streets.
The team went on later to win the National Championships for kids. Then, they became the first African American team to win a National Championship for polo. Kareem is now attending a junior college in upstate New York, and next year Kareem will play for Cornell on their polo team for a free. This story shows that with enough effort you can do anything.
