What Top Spin Is About
The road to the 2012 London Olympics for three young American table tennis players. Ariel Hsing, Michael Landers and Lily Zhang are all of high school age, keeping up with school while training for hours every day. Mina T. Son and Sara Newens’ documentary is less about the matches than about everything around them: whether a family budget stretches to this, how invisible a sport table tennis is in America, and what missing the trials means in a teenager’s life. At the centre is the fact that all three have to carry adolescence and professional discipline at the same time. The eighty-minute film played at DOC NYC in 2014 and won audience and editing awards at several festivals.
