Love & Basketball
All is fair in Love & Basketball. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, this romance and sports genre film serves as a landmark for Black women filmmaking for its authentic representation of female athletes, Black love, and female independence. The tender story follows two young Black suburban kids, Monica and Quincy, as they grow up, fall in love with each other, and chase the dream of playing in the NBA. Gina Prince-Bythewood’s first feature-length film has become not only a household favorite but has also inspired a new generation of female athletes and filmmakers.
