This documentary delves into the rich history and cultural impact of basketball in Paris. Over the course of 10 days along with the team at Bristol Studio we shot in the harsh winter conditions to capture the essence of the sport’s journey to the City of Lights. This documentary explores the enduring admiration for this overseas sport and its profound impact on the Parisian community.
We meticulously conducted interviews with basketball historians, archivists, landmark keepers, team owners, players, and other key figures. The documentary not only highlights the sport’s historical roots but also sheds light on the challenges faced by a new team striving to capture the attention of a city known for its diverse interests. The result is a captivating exploration of how basketball has not only taken root but flourished and been wholeheartedly embraced by the vibrant and culturally rich community of Paris.
