Last year, I had the opportunity to see and review Home Court at CAAMFest:
“Ashley Chea is a Cambodian American basketball phenom. Home Court, filmed over three years, is a coming-of-age story that relays the highs and lows of her immigrant family, surmounting racial and class differences, as well as personal trials that include a devastating knee injury. Despite the intensity of basketball recruiting, Ashley’s humor shines through and her natural talent inspires the support of those around her. This film was made with support from CAAM.”
The documentary is now available on all PBS platforms (for free), including here:

Home Court played at a number of other film festivals winning audience awards – it’s definitely worth a watch. I’m hoping to see a WNBA future for Chea as she wants to go pro. Her last game was a loss in the NCAA Tournament as Princeton lost to Iowa State where the sophomore scored 15 points.
