Benson Lee directs this drama starring Josh Holloway and Chris Brown in which a down on his luck basketball coach attempts to rally a team of breakdancers to win a major competition. Though America initially set up the 'Battle of the Year' competition, where the best b-boying (or breakdancing) performers from a number of countries square off, a team from the US hasn't taken the trophy home for 15 years. This greatly concerns L.A. rap mogul Dante (Laz Alonso) who attempts to convince his friend Blake (Holloway), a top basketball coach who has fallen on hard times, to take charge of this year's team. Though Blake is initially sceptical, he quickly realises that his ability to build team spirit may be the missing ingredient. Can his team, which includes Rooster (Brown), prevail in this year's competition?

Consultants Barnard and Parker aim to improve the way people communicate and so enable them to achieve their own personal and professional desires more effectively and efficiently. To achieve this, they introduce a new, unique and complete approach to communication: The "Campaign It " model.
Developed over several decades of influencing change at the highest levels and in different environments, the "Campaign It " model is tried and tested, and in the book, Parker and Barnard offer proof that it works.
Their basic tenet is that whenever there is an outcome people need to achieve they will have to inform, persuade and gain agreement from others. Their model, the "campaigning approach," makes this possible: it provides a plan and a structure to develop communications; it enables people to help themselves, their families, their businesses and/or their communities.
