Watch Silver Reunion For Free
Silver Reunion
In Manchester, Tennessee a secret meeting will take place. But this is no ordinary gathering; instead, a monumental decision will be made. Forty years after the USA men’s Olympic basketball team declined their Silver medals after controversially losing the Gold to the Soviet Union, the 12 players from that team will gather together, and like the jury in 12 Angry Men, they will come to a unanimous decision – accept or refuse the medals for a game many of the players believe they never lost.

Reviews
To me, this movie is perfection.
Excellent but underrated film
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
30 for 30 Shorts: Silver Reunion (2013) Wonderful episode in the series probably would have been better fit for a full length documentary but what we've got here is quite unique. When the men's U.S. basketball team finally lost in Olympic play it was to the Soviet Union in the 1972 games, which has gone down as one of the most controversial moments in sports history due to the American team winning the game only to have the referees put time back on the clock, which allowed the SU to win. This short runs just thirteen-minutes and it features all twelve members of the U.S. basketball team as they get together to discuss that day, watch the highlights and then vote on whether or not they should accept their silver medals, which they declined at the ceremony. This here is without question one of the best films in the shorts collection as well as the feature-length ones. It's rather remarkable getting to see all twelve men back together and still being so emotional over having the game stolen from them. As they watch the final play of the Soviet Union winning there are several tears still flowing. The documentary does a very good job at showing where these player's emotions are today and of course there's the vote to see if they should receive their silver medals. Fans of Olympic history or basketball are certainly going to enjoy this look back at one of the most controversial games in sports history.Episode: A+
