If I had not watched Sonicsgate on YT, I never would've heard of this documentary, but this one is a gem that is just as good, and much more heartfelt and happy than the former. Not only does this film show the relationship between the Kings and Sacramento, which, being Milwaukee Bucks fan, I had no idea how deep and dedicated it ran, but it really tugs on the heartstrings in a different way than Sonicsgate does; It brings the more sad, yet hopeful emotions the Sac fans were going through while trying to save their team to the forefront, and you really feel for them. The music really helped build that, and while it's a documentary a bit more on the cheap, it's still a great documentary, and a very acceptable substitute for the cancelled ESPN film about the fight to keep the Kings.

No offense to Seattle, but Sacramento really fought much harder, both the fans and the city government, to keep the Kings, and film really showed that.

I had heard that the same documentary filmmakers had been trying to make a sequel to this, "Here We Stayed", and I hope they do make it. This documentary was made when the fight was still ongoing, and I would love to see the same people on this film, talk about how they feel now, with the Kings staying in Sacramento for years to come.

Okay, first off, I am a huge Laker fan and was a little apprehensive in watching a feature film about the Sacramento Kings. After watching the film in its entirety, I am glad that I am an even bigger sports fan and can truly appreciate this story. Watching this film document from the beginning (with the move from Kansas City) to present day with all the interviews from all pertinent involved parties was fantastic. Being from Southern California and not fully realizing the situation, it is very informative and heart warming. Fans of every team should be able to relate to the die hard fan's desire to keep their team in their city, no matter the costs. The small town feel makes it that much more likable. As a die hard Laker lover, I appreciate the rivalry we had with the Kings in the earlier part of this century and hope that they can stay in Sacramento and become viable again. I, for one, would not welcome the "Royals" to Anaheim and actually still root for the Clippers to return to San Diego...hahahaha...but in all seriousness, this film is excellent from start to finish and I would recommend it to not just fans of any NBA team but fans of any major sports team...ESPN needs to grab this or even better, NBATV should be showing this on their channel.
