With the sport of basketball on the surface of the story, we learn quickly that this is not just a story about sports. This is an American story about a group of Muslim girls born into a world post September 11, 2001. These young women are learning to manage their way through life as Muslims, daughters, sisters, students and basketball players. It’s not unusual for first-time opponents to underestimate the lady Salam Stars. Salam, meaning "Peace" in Arabic, is an Islamic school that draws students and families from around the globe to its campus at South 13th Street and West Layton Avenue in Milwaukee. The girls can see it in an opponent’s glance, maybe the way they drop their shoulders when the Stars take the court looking demure in their traditional Muslim headscarves. Non- Musilm, Kassidi Macak is recruited to become the girls head coach.
