Untold: The Rise and Fall of AND1 is a focused examination of identity-based power dynamics. By centering Black athletes and entrepreneurs, it disrupts Eurocentric histories of organized basketball. However, the film's narrow focus on a hyper-masculine streetball culture limits its representation of women and LGBTQ+ individuals. Ultimately, the documentary's strength lies in its critique of how corporate interests exploit urban identities for branding.
