## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

There is No Place Like Home is a 2012 documentary film with a runtime of one hour and one minute. The film explores the events surrounding a significant auction held by Sotheby's on December 10, 2010. During this event, the original rules of basketball, written by James Naismith, were offered for sale. These rules are considered by many to be the most important historical document in the history of sports. The documentary follows the journey of one individual who launches a fanatical quest to win the auction. The primary goal of this effort is to bring the seminal American artifact back to Lawrence, Kansas. This location is significant because it is where James Naismith taught and coached for more than four decades. The film documents the process and the motivation behind the attempt to return the rules to the place where Naismith spent a large portion of his career. The production was released in the United States on October 16, 2012.
