WNBA 30 for 30 Documentary "144" to Premiere on ESPN on May 13th

The new ESPN documentary 144 about the 2020 WNBA season will premiere on ESPN on May 13th. ESPN has shared the official trailer for the film which will also be available on ESPN+ following its network debut.

What’s Happening:

ESPN Films will debut its latest documentary 144 about the unprecedented 2020 WNBA season in the bubble May 13, 2021 on ESPN.
After the COVID-19 pandemic shut down sports, many leagues were forced to figure out how to save their seasons. The WNBA created a single site at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida where 144 players across 12 teams played 147 games from July to October 2020.
Directed by Lauren Stowell & Jenna Contreras, the latter who spent 62 days in the bubble, the documentary explores the season dedicated to social justice and all that the players overcame to get through it: the COVID-19 pandemic, the demands of activism, and the rigors of an unrelenting schedule.
The trailer, which will air during the WNBA Draft on ESPN, also features the original song “Enough is Enough” from Disney Music Publishing Artist, Songwriter and Activist Blush.
144 will premiere May 13th at 9 pm ET on ESPN. The film will be made available on ESPN+ immediately after its premiere, along with the ESPN Films and 30 for 30 library.

What They’re Saying:

Chiney Ogwumike, Executive Producer, WNBA All-Star and ESPN Commentator: “Developing this documentary about my sisters in the WNBA and the powerful 2020 season has been an honor. 144 amplifies the story of how our league helped create unprecedented social change while redefining how we see strong female athletes compete at the highest level. It is a privilege to showcase the 144 in their vulnerability letting cameras behind-the-scenes, their dedication to social impact, and their strength in navigating through one of the most challenging seasons we have ever had.”
