Son of two former basketball players, Serge Ibaka suffered a lot in his life. Because his mother died and his father was arrested and locked up. Delivered to himself, he forgot his suffering by focusing on his dream of becoming a basketball player.
Serge explains:

 My mother died when I was young. Then my father was arrested and finished in prison for a while. I had nothing. But I kept dreaming, for dreaming is still free. All this motivated me to play so hard basketball from a very young age. And when I had my chance, I was ready. “

But, we stop there, the best is to watch the documentary to see the reunion between Serge and her 7-year-old daughter.
