Help Finish The Film
Click to DonateWelcome to The Lot -- the birthplace of ultimate frisbee and the title of this documentary.
THE LOT tells the story of 55 years of ultimate frisbee at Columbia High School. From its birth as a sport to its status today, ultimate remains an elusive endeavor in the mainstream world of commercial team sports. Neither varsity nor amateur, the egalitarian principles of ultimate have carried across generations and remain at the forefront today.
