What is Free throw contest about?

Donovan is determined to enter his school's basketball free-throw contest, but getting the ball through the hoop is harder than he expected. With help from his mum, he practises a different shooting style and starts to improve. However, when other children laugh at the way he shoots, Donovan begins to doubt himself. Can he find the confidence to stay true to himself, face the competition and show everyone that being different can be a strength?
