GOLIATH: Screening and Post-Screening Q&A

Directed by: Rob Ford and Christopher Dillon

Utilizing groundbreaking artificial intelligence to recreate Chamberlain’s voice to narrate his own words and archival footage provided by the Wilt Chamberlain Estate, GOLIATH tells the complete story of Chamberlain’s remarkable life and how it fits into the fabric of American history. Beginning with his emergence on the national scene as a high schooler in the 1950’s and following the arc of his life through his death in 1999, each episode of GOLIATH highlights a specific element of Chamberlain’s cultural impact, focusing on the areas of power, money,race, sex, politics and celebrity. Chamberlain's story is one of sheer dominance, records shattered and a relentless pursuit of excellence. The series provides an intimate look into the life of a true legend, showcasing his unparalleled athleticism, mesmerizing performances and pioneering achievements that have solidified his place in sports history.

Black Ice: Screening and Post-Screening Q&A

Directed by: Hubert Davis

Black Ice masterfully navigates the challenges, triumphs, and unique experiences faced by these athletes through poignant firsthand accounts from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color hockey players past, including Willie O’Ree, the first Black player in the National Hockey League, and former professional hockey player Akim Aliu, with the stories of present stars, including P.K. Subban and Wayne Simmonds. The film explores the deep BIPOC roots of the game, dating back to 1865 and the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes (CHL), the first all-pro league, which not only introduced the slapshot but shaped the game of hockey we know today. Davis exposes racist patterns that span generations, even highlighting stories of how sports institutions have exerted pressure on players seeking change to remain silent.

Throughout the day, UNINTERRUPTED will host “State of The Game” conversations where select athletes, industry partners and/or filmmakers will come together to share about their work in the Athlete-As-Creator space. Black Ice screening will kick off with "STATE OF THE GAME: INTRODUCING, MINIATURE GÉANT STUDIO", where Joel Embiid, the 2023 NBA MVP and six-time NBA All-Star sits with The SpringHill Company CEO, Maverick Carter, to discuss the partnership in launching Embiid's new production studio, Miniature Géant.
