The latest film from the Academy-award nominated director of "Hoop Dreams" opens in Minneapolis today. Years ago, filmmaker Steve James signed up for the Big Brother / Big Sister program. He hoped he would be assigned a young boy who liked sports and needed a male role model. Instead, he got a hyperactive, troubled kid named Stevie. After losing touch with Stevie for more than 10 years, James decides to track down his Little Brother. The film follows him back to rural Illinois and into the life of the now twenty-something Stevie. James says the documentary took a direction he never anticipated.
