The ESPN Films documentary from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Liz Garbus and Elizabeth Wolff promises “the unfiltered, untold story of how King broke the rules and proved her critics wrong.” “The legacy of Billie Jean King is like none other,” says Garbus. “She is a generational athletic talent, a pioneer in women’s sports, and a leader in the fight for equal pay and against discrimination in sports and society. Her bravery and her chutzpah are unmatched as she risked everything for everyone to have a chance at succeeding. Elizabeth and I are so excited to introduce Billie Jean to a whole new generation of young people who will see they are standing on her shoulders and be inspired to keep fighting for equality.”
