AMONGST THE TREES is a feature documentary following an upstart men's basketball program at Copper Mountain College––a tiny community college in the middle of the Mojave Desert in Joshua Tree, California––during the final week of their season. In just the second year of the team's existence, the film drops viewers directly into the action as the Fighting Cacti make one last push for the playoffs in a nail-biting game.
